Starting point is 00:02:46 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
Starting point is 00:03:41 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,
Starting point is 00:04:11 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.
Starting point is 00:04:23 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,
Starting point is 00:04:52 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.
Starting point is 00:05:08 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
Starting point is 00:05:29 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
Starting point is 00:06:11 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,
Starting point is 00:06:43 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
Starting point is 00:07:26 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
Starting point is 00:07:58 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.
Starting point is 00:08:39 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.

Taking better care of yourself is just a click away.
Starting point is 00:11:35 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.
Starting point is 00:12:00 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
Starting point is 00:12:45 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.
Starting point is 00:13:11 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
Starting point is 00:13:40 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.
Starting point is 00:13:58 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
Starting point is 00:14:15 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
Starting point is 00:15:05 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
Starting point is 00:15:34 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.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Just all the way off. Yeah. What? I mean, it was Twitter's year in a way. Yeah. It's news. For sure.
Starting point is 00:15:56 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
Starting point is 00:16:17 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.
Starting point is 00:16:39 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
Starting point is 00:16:53 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
Starting point is 00:17:19 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.
Starting point is 00:17:57 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.
Starting point is 00:18:15 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
Starting point is 00:18:37 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.
Starting point is 00:19:03 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,
Starting point is 00:19:24 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. 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

Taking better care of yourself is just a click away. And we're back. So Screen Rant came through with their predictions
Starting point is 00:22:40 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.
Starting point is 00:23:12 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
Starting point is 00:23:33 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.
Starting point is 00:24:15 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.
Starting point is 00:24:29 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.
Starting point is 00:24:48 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.
Starting point is 00:25:04 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
Starting point is 00:25:46 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?
Starting point is 00:26:13 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
Starting point is 00:26:38 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.
Starting point is 00:27:01 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
Starting point is 00:27:15 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?
Starting point is 00:27:32 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.
Starting point is 00:27:49 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.
Starting point is 00:28:06 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.
Starting point is 00:28:14 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?
Starting point is 00:28:26 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?
Starting point is 00:28:43 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
Starting point is 00:28:58 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.
Starting point is 00:29:27 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.
Starting point is 00:29:56 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.
Starting point is 00:30:11 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
Starting point is 00:30:25 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
Starting point is 00:31:05 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...
Starting point is 00:31:33 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.
Starting point is 00:31:57 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.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Yeah. Baba Vanga. Yeah.
