We kick things off by recapping how we spent New Year’s Eve and reacting to the Stranger Things finale. We also take a serious moment to discuss the tragic fire in Switzerland that claimed multiple lives and why it’s another reminder that not everything needs to be recorded for content.

We then break down the overnight capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife in Venezuela, why it happened, the immediate fallout, and how it could impact global geopolitics moving forward. From there, we get into Drake allegedly being connected to a RICO case involving Adin Ross and Stake.us, plus TraxNYC going viral after a wild New Year’s Eve fight in New York’s Diamond District.

We also talk about YouTuber Nate Shirley going viral for exposing Minnesota daycares allegedly operating under false pretences and how the federal government responded by cutting off state funding. Grok had a recent controversy in which the A.I. model began making very explicit images. MrBeast’s latest interview caught our attention as he opened up about the real struggle of creating content online which is something we found extremely relatable. And of course, we couldn’t ignore IShowSpeed “beating” a cheetah in a race… even if it looked pretty fake.

On the sports side, we discuss why this may be Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills’ best and possibly only real chance to finally win a Super Bowl. We also debate the NFL MVP race and who deserves it more between Drake Maye and Matthew Stafford. Rich Paul’s comments on Ben Simmons spark a conversation about whether his career may have ended abruptly, and we touch on Auston Matthews breaking the Maple Leafs franchise goal record with 421 goals and where he ranks all-time in team history.

We wrap things up with our questions segment, featuring a blind ranking of things we’d do for a million dollars and some deep “Would You Rather” questions involving memories, privacy, and freedom of speech.
