[0:00:30] Geoff: Hello and welcome to another piece of supplemental content. Today we are going to evaluate our... Evaluate? What? Evaluate? Geoff, you're going to take it one more time. Take that in 3, 2, 1. Hello and welcome to another episode of the... Fuck. 3, 2, 1. Hello and welcome to another piece of supplemental content. Today we are going to evaluate our 2025 Nostradamus picks to determine which amongst us, if any, was in fact Nostradamus. And then we will go ahead and issue our 2026 pick proclamations to determine if we are still or maybe becoming Nostradamus into the next year. Is everyone ready?
[0:01:14] Andrew: Yes. I'm so ready. Done so much research in just tapping into my soul. Been walking out with tinfoil hats on during thunderstorms. I'm trying to get the juice. I'm trying to get the energy. I'm trying to feel the universe.
[0:01:26] Eric: Cool, because we're going to start... Yeah, get a feel for the universe because I can't wait to talk about Andrew's first pick. All right, so Gavin's first pick for 2025 for his Nostradamus was Andrew Breaks a Chair. Andrew, did you break a chair? Didn't happen.
[0:01:42] Gavin: Damn it. The first year, it didn't happen.
[0:01:44] Eric: There you go. No points. Yep, no points on that. Nick, GTA 6 delayed to 2026. Nailed it. It did happen. Nick gets a point. It's a point for Nick. There you go. Andrew, there's a regulation divorce in 2025.
[0:01:59] Andrew: I don't want it, but statistically speaking, probable. We good? Everyone's still married? Yep.
[0:02:06] Eric: Still married. All still married. Okay. Yeah, no points. No points. Good for you. Good job, guys. Jeff, swing music is back. It was not. I didn't see it. Yeah, I didn't see any sound of that. No. It was a good try, though. No evidence. Yeah, it was. It was a good try. No points. Eric, GTA 6 releases this year. You know, I just kind of did it because Nick did the other one. Didn't feel confident about it. By you doing that, somebody was getting a point off of that no matter what. Yeah. Well, I mean, in retrospect, we will see how Nick's 2025 pick really plays out to see if it comes out in 2026. But, you know, it is what it is. Snake Draft style, we go down to my next pick. Robbie Williams will die. I really felt good about that one. I thought, I definitely thought that it was going to happen. It did not. He did not die, so no points.
[0:02:55] Gavin: I spent a lot of this year just sending Eric posts that Robbie Williams was putting on Instagram just reminding him that he was, in fact, still alive.
[0:03:02] Eric: It would just be a text from Gavin from Robbie Williams of, I'm still going.
[0:03:09] Andrew: And you go, yeah, there he is. Yeah, but what we can say is that they're never making another movie about that man. That's dead.
[0:03:16] Eric: Yeah, absolutely.
[0:03:17] Andrew: Nobody saw that.
[0:03:19] Eric: Speaking of dead, hey, Jeff, how's Dick Van Dyke doing?
[0:03:22] Geoff: He's doing great. He ran in the new year at the young age of 100 years old. That's a point for me.
[0:03:29] Gavin: That is a point for Jeff. That was such a risky pick, too. That was a great pick.
[0:03:33] Andrew: What was so funny about that is when I was making my predictions for, like, doing notes for what this upcoming year's predictions will be, I wrote Dick Van Dyke won't die and then looked at what we did last year and went, oh, Jeff did that already. Never mind.
[0:03:50] Eric: Yep. There you have it. Andrew's pick was Nick performs a charity. He did. Did you perform a charity?
[0:03:57] Nick: I did. I did. I did a live stream with my good buddy, Mr. Wartberg, for the cure for Crohn's disease. Wow. Lovely.
[0:04:06] Eric: Way to go. Hey, Andrew. Appreciate that. Andrew, that's one point for you, buddy.
[0:04:10] Nick: Forgot about this until after. So that was a nice realization.
[0:04:16] Eric: Nick said one of us will have a root canal. Anybody? Anyone? No. I don't see that one. No root canals in 2025.
[0:04:25] Gavin: That's crazy. Like that and the chair, the obvious regulation picks, just not hitting. That's crazy. Maybe we helped, Gavin. Maybe we kept it from happening.
[0:04:33] Eric: Yeah. Way to go, guys. You're welcome. A new pasta shape was Gavin's. Gavin, any new pasta shape?
[0:04:41] Gavin: I saw some chat about it, but I don't. I mean, Googling it, I can't see anything from 2025.
[0:04:47] Eric: I saw some new shapes. You did? I saw that people were talking about new shapes, but I didn't see any definitive new shape in 2025.
[0:04:56] Geoff: Trader Joe's released a square rigatoni, I think. Oh.
[0:05:02] Eric: We can count that if you want to. I think it's weak, but I'll give it to you.
[0:05:06] Gavin: Is it called a new thing or is it called square rigatoni?
[0:05:10] Geoff: You know, that's a good point. It is just a, but it is a new shape. Yeah, but it is a new shape.
[0:05:15] Gavin: I mean, you didn't say a new shape. Square is a shape.
[0:05:16] Eric: That is it. Yeah, that's it. You didn't say pasta name. Yep. Gavin, that's a point for you. Congratulations.
[0:05:23] Gavin: I didn't feel great about it, but I'll take it.
[0:05:25] Eric: Yep. We go down to Gavin's third. Pro athlete accidentally kills a crowd member. I don't, did that, I don't think that happened. Did, not that I had heard. I feel like I definitely would have heard about it. Anyone? Did a pro athlete.
[0:05:42] Gavin: I feel like maybe I saw something in the Reddit though about it.
[0:05:45] Eric: Yeah, but I feel like it was someone injured, but not killed.
[0:05:48] Andrew: I also, respectfully, I don't think I, I feel comfortable giving you a point when you say like, I thought I saw something on Reddit about it. Yeah. You need that.
[0:05:56] Gavin: Yeah. I'm not saying that's a guaranteed point. I'm just saying, I think. No, no. I'm just, yeah.
[0:06:00] Andrew: Yeah. I'm not saying you're trying to get one, but.
[0:06:02] Geoff: It looks, it looks like it happened in high school, a couple of high school incidents, but not, those aren't professionals.
[0:06:07] Eric: But that's not, but that's not a pro athlete. Yeah.
[0:06:09] Geoff: Oh, just regular athlete. Oh. Yep. Close. Sorry, my man. A spectator was killed by a stray hammer thrown by a competitor during a high school track and field meet at the University of Colorado.
[0:06:20] Gavin: Like the hammer throw? Jeez. Yeah.
[0:06:22] Eric: Crazy. Well, no points for you, but Nick, you said Jeff hits the hot dog average. Oh.
[0:06:29] Geoff: Jeff, how'd you do? I fell under the average by about. You did. 10 hot dogs.
[0:06:34] Eric: No point. No point. Andrew, Arizona iced tea above 99 cents. And as much as everyone goddamn posted about it, it did not go above 99 cents. They held on. Yep. Can't believe it.
[0:06:50] Geoff: Jeff, a new dog breed. Ooh. I assume you're referring to the Danish-Swedish farm dog that was added to the AKC officially in 2025.
[0:07:01] Eric: Wow. And there you have it. That's a point for Jeff. Thank you. Thank you. Speaking of dogs, I said a dog speaks. I saw some stuff that sounded like a dog speaking, but ultimately the dog wasn't speaking enough for it to be regular language. So I will say no points for me on that one, as well as my final Nostradamus pick, Oasis breaks up again. That one felt sure fire. It did. That one felt like betting line easy. It felt like such a lock. That one felt like easy money.
[0:07:34] Geoff: Eric, I just put that in my 2026 predictions.
[0:07:37] Eric: I'm going to have to take it out because I didn't realize it stands for me. Tough. Jeff's final Nostradamus prediction was Andrew eats the pencil. Andrew? Nope. Okay. That's no points. Damn it. Andrew's. Andrew's final Nostradamus. Hot air balloon Al Pacino incident.
[0:08:00] Andrew: Unfortunately didn't happen. I was on the lookout, had Google news alerts for Al Pacino, never popped up, never got one. He avoided them.
[0:08:10] Gavin: That's unfortunate.
[0:08:11] Andrew: Yeah.
[0:08:11] Eric: Yeah. Okay. Almost. Maybe. Hey, you know what? Maybe this year. Nick said new world's hottest pepper. Does anyone have any news on a new hot pepper? I didn't see anything. Me neither.
[0:08:24] Geoff: Was there a new hottest? Let's look.
[0:08:28] Nick: Looks like it remained pepper X. What year is that from?
[0:08:34] Geoff: Yeah. That's. But it was before. That's from 2023.
[0:08:37] Eric: Yeah.
[0:08:37] Geoff: Ooh. Yeah.
[0:08:38] Eric: Tough. Sorry, Nick. That's all right. And finally, the last Nostradamus prediction of 2025 was Gavin saying dinosaurs reboot. And anyone know? Was there a dinosaurs reboot?
[0:08:48] Gavin: Didn't happen. Didn't come back. Didn't happen.
[0:08:50] Eric: Tough. Tough. Jurassic Park reboot. That's true. That's a reboot of dinosaurs, but not dinosaurs proper. Boys, those are our 2025 draft predictions.
[0:09:03] Andrew: Before you say, how did everybody do? Yeah. Can we reflect on this? I got zero.
[0:09:09] Eric: I got. Jeff got two. Two. Two. Andrew got one. Nick got one. Nick got one. He got one. Gavin got one. So Jeff won. Jeff, you're the Nostradamus.
[0:09:24] Andrew: Wow, Jeff. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Well done. And we learned two things that Eric definitely isn't. That's true. Of 2025. Yeah. It's true. We learned the most and least Nostradamus of that year.
[0:09:38] Eric: But it's time for me to make up for that in 2026 and have a really good board for the Nostradamus 2026. Boys, we have to randomize to see where we land. How many times are we randomizing? Well, Jeff should get to pick, right?
[0:09:55] Geoff: Two. We're going to randomize two times from my two correct guesses. Oh, shit.
[0:10:00] Eric: Wow. That's crazy. That's one of the lowest times we've ever randomized. All right. That's true. So remember, we start in an egg order. Andrew, Nick, Eric, Jeff, Gavin. Here's the first randomization. Jeff. Gavin, Eric, Andrew, Nick, Jeff, how you feeling? I feel great. Okay. And we randomize a second time. And here will be the draft order for Nostradamus 2026. Andrew, Jeff, Gavin, Eric, Nick, boys. This is the order. We will now tell the future to the audience. And we start with Andrew. Oh, I get the first pick? Yep. Wow. Could be anything. The board is the future.
[0:10:40] Andrew: The board is the future. And I want to perform better than I did last year. And I did, as I said, walking around. I got the tinfoil hat on, trying to get electricity in the veins during thunderstorms, feeling the outside, reading all of the industry news, trying to trying to really focus in on forecasting what I think could happen. During the time of this recording, we're in a we're in an era of wheeling and dealing all sorts of news regarding the future of Warner Brothers, a company we once had an affiliation with things happening left and right. So my prediction is, and I went through, I thought about it, I went through every person involved and it didn't make sense for any of them except one. So my bold Nostradamus prediction to start off the 2026 Nostradamus draft selection is that Jack acquires the Let's Play YouTube channel.
[0:11:42] Andrew: That's my prediction. Jack acquires Let's Play? Yeah. The YouTube channel. I've been reading the tea leaves. I've been feeling the news. Warner Brothers, when Netflix acquired it, they said they didn't even want their video game developers. You think they're going to want their YouTube channel about video games? I don't know. They want it out of it. Yep. Well, and of all the people, I think it's most likely would end up with him.
[0:12:11] Unidentified: Wow.
[0:12:12] Andrew: So that's my first bold pick.
[0:12:13] Eric: I like it. That's a very bold pick for 2026. Something that can happen in 2026. That's very, very interesting. And Jeff, go to you with your second pick. My second pick? I'm sorry. Your first pick. The second in the Nostradamus.
[0:12:31] Geoff: Okay. My first pick for 2026. You may say to yourself, Jeff, this is very similar to last year's pick, and it is similar, but it is distinctly different. I'm not going to tell you that Dick Van Dyke is not going to die this year. What I am going to tell you is that he will turn 101.
[0:12:50] Eric: Whoa!
[0:12:50] Geoff: He leaves again?
[0:12:52] Eric: Your prediction is that he keeps on trucking.
[0:12:55] Geoff: My prediction is that he makes it to December 13th of 2026.
[0:12:59] Eric: Okay. Okay.
[0:13:00] Geoff: Oh, wow. So you're giving yourself...
[0:13:02] Unidentified: Yeah.
[0:13:02] Gavin: Yeah. He's still got to do most of the year, but you're giving yourself a little bit of freedom.
[0:13:04] Geoff: He'll turn 101, but I can't make any guarantees after that.
[0:13:10] Eric: Such a long to short window. Yeah. All right, Jeff, you're on the board with more dick pics, but Gavin, you have your first pick, your first Nostradamus for 2026.
[0:13:22] Gavin: Well, I want to put out some stuff into the world. I want to manifest a little bit. Maybe for the first time since 1966, England wins the World Cup. Whoa! Wow! Is that...
[0:13:36] Eric: Wow. Now, you're talking about manifesting. Do you think it's going to happen, or are you just taking a big swing here?
[0:13:46] Gavin: Or both. Big old swing. Well... Okay. What year was it that I had to watch the penalties during a... During a break show? It was cards?
[0:13:55] Geoff: 2019, maybe, something like that. 2018? No, we were opening... We didn't exist in 2018.
[0:14:02] Andrew: Or 2019.
[0:14:04] Eric: Oh, I guess you're right. I'm pretty sure it was 22, wasn't it? It was the last one. When was the last one, Gavin?
[0:14:10] Gavin: Uh, 22. That would have been it.
[0:14:13] Eric: Well, that's when you watched it live, and we saw that it wasn't coming home.
[0:14:16] Gavin: But I couldn't remember if that was the World Cup, or if it was, like, the delayed Euros. Might have been the Euros in 21. Could have been.
[0:14:25] Eric: Could have been. But what you're saying is this year, England wins the World Cup. Yes. Pretty good. Pretty good. Make sure to schedule a break show, Jeff, whenever that matches. Yeah, and he needs to be there. Oh, I'll be there.
[0:14:37] Gavin: Mm-hmm.
[0:14:40] Eric: You're talking about manifesting? You're talking about putting something out there that we want to see? I'm going to change my board up a little bit. I'm going to put this up a little bit higher. I'm just going to put it a little bit lower on my draft board, but this is going to be number one for me. Regulation podcast in big lights. Ooh. To me, it's going to be a bit... People are going to see it. Boom, regulation podcast in just a huge, in a big format, in a big way. I'm trying to manifest us really getting out there this year and putting regulation podcast on a marquee. Boom, in big lights. Like I have an Arb Manhattan moment. Is that what you're saying there? Yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm thinking about what it would be like if we were able to be in Manhattan looking at regulation and big, big lights. And, you know, standing there, standing there as a group, as a team. A team together. Regulation podcast in Manhattan, baby. Boom, big lights.
[0:15:40] Eric: Look at that. And that's my manifestation for 2026. I'm just, you know, I'm just trying to follow in the footsteps of some greats. You know what I mean? I love it. I love that. We go to the Windy Apple, maybe. Absolutely. That's what they call it. Yeah, my favorite. Nick? Yes? You have the next two picks in this Nostradamus draft. What is your first?
[0:16:03] Nick: Going broader. And this one is going to sound similar to last year, but it's different years involved. That is that GTA 6 will be delayed until 2027.
[0:16:17] Eric: So you're looking that if it does come out in 2027, maybe you retroactively lose that point.
[0:16:22] Nick: No, because I said it was delayed to 2027. Which it was. And now it's going to be delayed. I think the key word here is delayed, Eric. So could you add delayed till 2027?
[0:16:33] Eric: You got it, man.
[0:16:36] Nick: Just saying.
[0:16:38] Eric: I was right. Delayed to 2026. But if it comes out in 2027, then this would be null, wouldn't it? Yeah, you would lose that point. You would lose that point.
[0:16:46] Nick: No, because it was still delayed to 2026. Yeah, I think both things are right. It's true.
[0:16:51] Eric: Is that possible? Crazy. No, it's not. Gavin, I'm with you. They're both on. You know what? If we're split like that, then we leave it to Jeff. Ah. Ah. I don't care.
[0:17:07] Nick: I win.
[0:17:08] Geoff: There you go. Tie us with Nick.
[0:17:10] Unidentified: All right. Great. Great. Prime presents Perfect Pairings. What pairs with Reacher on Prime? Reaching for a sparkling punch delivered with Prime. It's an unbelievable feeling when you're enjoying a punch. Ah. At the same time Reacher is enjoying punching people. Wow. He's still punching people. Entertainment meets fast delivery. It's on Prime. Welcome aboard Via Rail. Please sit and enjoy. Please sit and stretch. Steep. Flip. Or that. And enjoy. Via Rail. Love the way. Nick.
[0:17:59] Eric: What do you got?
[0:18:00] Nick: Something closer to home. But I think this year, Andrew eats egg.
[0:18:07] Gavin: Oh.
[0:18:09] Andrew: That is a, that's a big prediction. I know, that's, you just, you just pretzeled me. Yeah. Cause like, do I eat an egg and give you a point? Do I avoid the egg? I don't, I don't eat, oh man. Well, if you eat the egg, I'll call Jack.
[0:18:28] Eric: Wow. Andrew eats egg is such a good one, man. That is great. That is really good. I feel good about it.
[0:18:35] Andrew: It feels weird that I have control over a plate for Nick. You do. I know, man. You do, it's true. But it's the year of egg.
[0:18:39] Eric: Well, I mean, this is what happened with Nick. Nick was in your draft last year where it was Nick does a charity. Great point. Great point. So, you know, and he got that for you. Something to think about. Something to think about. But now we move on to me and my next pick. Because I am kind of piggybacking off what Jeff had for one of his picks. He said swing music's back. I think I'm going to be a little bit early with this prediction. I think this is more of a 2027 thing. But I think we're going to start seeing it. Ska is back. Ska's back. Unfortunately, I do think Ska will be back in 2027. But I think you will see the beginnings, the inklings of Ska coming back probably late summer. Little touches of it from around the world. And Ska will be back. Unfortunately, it will rear its ugly little head and come back partly in 2026. But I'm going to say Ska is back this year.
[0:19:34] Andrew: I thought you meant unfortunate that it's returning, which I would be very excited about. But you meant the timing of it.
[0:19:39] Eric: It is unfortunate that Ska is returning. Really? You don't want Ska back? I don't want. Hey, Jeff, you want Ska back? Not particularly.
[0:19:46] Geoff: Me? Neither. Here's the deal. I love a lot of Ska music. I'm not going to want what comes back to come back. Yep. That's fair. What I like isn't going to come back.
[0:19:58] Eric: I don't want new Ska, but I do think new Ska is coming, boys. I don't think there's any way to stop it. It's going to be bad. But Gavin, with Ska coming back, we go to your next pick. What is your prediction for 2026? Well, GTA 6 comes up all the time.
[0:20:17] Gavin: Everyone's talking about it every year. All the time. I predict Trump will attempt to ban GTA 6.
[0:20:24] Andrew: Wow.
[0:20:25] Eric: Trump attempts to ban GTA 6? I'm very interested in that. I like that because I can see it. Boy, I can definitely see it happening. But it's upsetting so much of his base.
[0:20:41] Andrew: Do you think it's before it releases? Or that there's something in it that he doesn't like and then tries to have it banned?
[0:20:48] Gavin: I think there's definitely something in it that he's not going to like.
[0:20:51] Geoff: That is absolutely a great point, Gavin. I'm right there with you, Gavin. I kind of wondered if maybe them pushing it to next fall had something to do with the midterms even. That was the first thing I thought when I heard it. But he seems to have a blind spot to South Park. So I wonder if GTA would fall in that blind spot too. I don't know.
[0:21:13] Eric: Well, now that South Park's in Fortnite, maybe he'll pay attention.
[0:21:17] Unidentified: Maybe.
[0:21:18] Eric: But hey, Gavin, I really like that pick. I think it's a really good one. I think it's a really solid outside of the box kind of pick. That's really fun. Let's see if Jeff can continue that phone with his Nostradamus pick for 2026.
[0:21:31] Geoff: I'm going to piggyback off Gavin going sports and pick something that I think is a big swing that I also believe in. I'm going to predict that the Boston Celtics will return to the NBA finals this year. Wow. I don't know. I don't think they're going to win, but I think they make it.
[0:21:48] Eric: I I do. I think that's a pretty solid pick. I think the East is a little kooky. I think that the West is pretty. I mean, the West, the West is pretty crazy. Yeah, there's a lot of season left at the time of this recording. But I could definitely see the Celtics putting together a big run late in the season and making it to the finals.
[0:22:12] Geoff: I think that is a very we're going to get Jason Tatum back with just enough time to work him back into the rotation. So that it's not awkward. And then when everybody else is dealing with late season injuries, we're going to be coming on strong.
[0:22:23] Eric: I really agree with that. I think that's a really, really, really good pick. Really good pick. Thank you. Thank you. Well, you're seeing the future. You were the winner last time. So maybe you're really on to something.
[0:22:31] Geoff: I also think that we'll make some minor but significant moves before the All-Star or before the All-Star. Really? Wow.
[0:22:38] Eric: LeBron and Celtic screen. Andrew, what is your next? Well, I guess you have the next two. What are your next two?
[0:22:46] Andrew: Yeah. So for my next pick, last year when we did this, my first overall pick was that there is a regulation divorce. I wasn't happy about it. I was just playing the odds. Didn't want it to happen. Thankfully, it didn't. I don't like what he's about to say. So this year, I'm going to lean the other way. I'm going to say that nobody gets divorced. And if anything, the regulation family goes deeper. Someone has a kid.
[0:23:14] Eric: Whoa. Okay. So we're going to say regulation kid? Regulation baby. Oh, regulation baby.
[0:23:20] Andrew: Wow. That's my prediction.
[0:23:23] Unidentified: Wow.
[0:23:23] Andrew: Go in the reverse way because the divorce angle didn't work. So let's go in and addition to the family as opposed to a separation.
[0:23:32] Eric: The divorce angle didn't work. That's true. Well, we're going to re-scheme. Statistically, you guys all did it. And that's awesome. Yeah. We'll re-scheme and see if there can be a regulation baby.
[0:23:41] Geoff: Just want to throw this out there. I'm fixed. My tubes are tied. So it's going to have to come from one of the four of you guys.
[0:23:47] Nick: I'm afraid that I also have the old snip.
[0:23:51] Geoff: Oh. Oh.
[0:23:53] Nick: Then there were three. Incredible.
[0:23:57] Andrew: Unexpected things can occur. You never know.
[0:24:00] Nick: I better not. Yeah. You're not a believer in miracles?
[0:24:02] Eric: They might both have snip confidence. Yeah. There's a... You got to be a believer in miracles. Damn. I'd prefer not. Andrew... Come on, Nick. Get another house. Andrew, you have your third pick.
[0:24:14] Andrew: My third pick.
[0:24:15] Gavin: 2026.
[0:24:16] Andrew: And this one, you know, a lot of positive forecasting. And I'm unfortunately going to have to take it a little bit negative here. Toughness. And towards of Jeff. A Jeff direction. Uh-oh. My prediction. And I'm sorry, Jeff, about this. I assume you enjoy making this. I assume you love it. My prediction is Anma ends in 2026.
[0:24:41] Eric: Wow. All right. All right. Well, Jeff, we'll see if Anma ends in 2026. All right. Yeah. Hey. You know, anything can happen, Jeff. I see ya. Anma can end in 2026. I just think that everyone's going to get a little busy with everything else going on. Yep. It could happen. Hey, man. In 2026, it could happen. It could happen in a big way. Very interested to see that.
[0:25:07] Geoff: Knock on wood. We'll see what happens.
[0:25:09] Eric: Hey, you know, fingers crossed. I guess we'll have to leave it up to Gus. Jeff, you have your next pick.
[0:25:16] Geoff: Okay. So the last two have been picks from the larger world, but I'm going to go more inward. I'm going to go more regulation focused with my final two picks. So for my third pick, and this is a bit of a big swing because there are no plans for this in any way whatsoever, but I'm going to predict that one of the five of us, at least one of the five of us could be more, but at a minimum, one of the five of us will make an appearance on the Sloppy Joe's live cam in 2026. Wow. That's a fun one.
[0:25:48] Nick: I like that one.
[0:25:50] Eric: Yep. I don't know how or why, but I think it's going to happen. Interesting. So a regulation appearance on Sloppy Joe's live cam. Yep.
[0:25:59] Unidentified: Wow.
[0:26:00] Andrew: Now the physical appearance, right? Someone has to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[0:26:03] Geoff: It's not like a picture of us or somebody dressed up as us or none of that. No, it's legitimately one of us.
[0:26:10] Eric: I like it. I like it. Yeah. I'm scared to go back for like a silver curse, but you never know. You could die. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to, I don't want to do that. Gavin, Gavin, you have your third pick. Tell us the future, Gavin.
[0:26:25] Gavin: Well, this is probably the biggest Hail Mary on my, on my board today, but I believe that it's possible that Andrew with his own human eye, we'll see another regulation member.
[0:26:42] Andrew: Wow. Wow. Oh, I'm not liking all the things that like I could dictate on this board. Andrew holds a lot of, a lot of power, a lot of power on this board. Yeah.
[0:26:58] Eric: Does Andrew decide to bring Scott back? Hey, there's a lot. He could, Hey, Andrew might end ANMA.
[0:27:05] Gavin: I'm going to be stood outside his front door and he's just not going to want to give me the point. He's going to keep your odds throwing the door. He's going to keep his eyes closed.
[0:27:11] Andrew: I'm going to keep eye mask on at all times.
[0:27:16] Eric: Well, if we're staying sort of in the regulation universe, I kind of want to do that also. We're talking about people that have a lot of power over what can happen on these things. I, this is going to be a big swing and I don't hope this happens. Oh no. I don't want this to happen. I don't, I don't wish it out there, but I do think in 2026, Nick moves again.
[0:27:42] Nick: No, fuck. No.
[0:27:43] Eric: Wow. Wow.
[0:27:45] Nick: Crazy.
[0:27:46] Eric: I think Nick, Nick can't get enough of putting stuff in boxes. Is this office included?
[0:27:53] Nick: Are offices included?
[0:27:55] Eric: Well, I mean, you just, uh, yeah, I guess I, I mean, I think, I think it does, but it doesn't have to, that can be on the line, but either way, I just think Nick moves again this year. I think this year, I think Nick might move again. Why would he do that? Why would he do that? I don't know. I don't know why he would do that. That's the thing. I don't know. He shouldn't. You want me to ask Amanda? You want to put that out in the world? Fuck no.
[0:28:22] Gavin: Now that you've been in, how would you rate the state of your new place?
[0:28:25] Eric: Oh, I love it. It's so nice. There's so many trees.
[0:28:29] Gavin: Well, that's saying goodbye to it.
[0:28:30] Eric: Yeah, it's going to be tough to leave, man. That's, that's rough. Oh no.
[0:28:34] Unidentified: Prime presents Perfect Pairings. What pairs with Reacher on Prime? Reaching for a sparkling punch delivered with Prime. It's an unbelievable feeling when you're enjoying a punch. At the same time, Reacher is enjoying punching people. Wow, he's still punching people. Entertainment meets fast delivery. It's on Prime. Welcome aboard Via Rail. Please sit and enjoy. Please sit and stretch. Steep. Flip. Or that. And enjoy. Via Rail.
[0:29:18] Eric: Love the way. Speaking of Nick, Nick, you have your final two predictions for 2026. Why don't you give them to me back to back?
[0:29:27] Nick: All right. Well, first up, I'm going to go with mine and Jeff's San Antonio Spurs are going to knock the Thunder out of the NBA playoffs. Wow. Wow.
[0:29:43] Eric: Wow. That's a bold prediction. It is. It is. The Spurs have beat the Thunder three times, but their regular season, season games. Yeah, that's true. And now, what Nick is positing is that the Spurs will play the Thunder at some point in the playoffs, which is, you know, it could be a likely thing, but also, the odds of even reaching that playoff game, that's, there's a lot that goes into that.
[0:30:11] Nick: Maybe they fall, you know, they lose a lot of games in the eight seed or something.
[0:30:16] Eric: It could be, it could be, that's crazy, man. It could be for the West. There's so much that could happen. There's so much. There's so much that could happen, but I love it. I'm excited. Could be Spurs Celtics, Jeff.
[0:30:25] Geoff: Ooh. Yeah, it could be. I don't think we would win that either, but yeah.
[0:30:32] Eric: Okay. Well, Nick, that's your third prediction, but what's your final prediction?
[0:30:37] Nick: Maybe my boldest prediction, but we're riding high on Walton Goggins right now, right? He's, his career is at an all-time high. He's the Walmart guy. He was the Grinch in the Walmart commercials. He is the ghoul in Fallout. I predict, as a result of all the success, they will bring back Justified for another season.
[0:30:57] Andrew: Another? Wow. Okay. A continuation of the spinoff season? I think they'll just call it Justified again. Or another spinoff.
[0:31:05] Nick: They'll call it Justified again, because City Primeval was the spinoff. And at the end of that, spoilers, Boyd escapes prison, who is Walton Goggins' character, and he and Raelynn, the main character, have a bit of a back and forth history. And I think this is where Raelynn goes to get him. And that will be the show. Ooh. Wow.
[0:31:23] Eric: Justified Returns. Okay. I know that's near and dear to your heart, as you are re-watching it again. Yeah, it's a great show.
[0:31:30] Unidentified: Okay, there you go.
[0:31:31] Eric: It's a good show. He's just ready for more. Yeah. Justified Returns. Bring it back. Well, I'm going to stay in the realm of television as well. And I'm going to make my final prediction for 2026. And I don't think a lot of people see this coming. I don't think a lot of people are probably going to agree with this. But I think it's probably time. My final prediction will be that The Simpsons announce its final season. Wow. I don't know that it'll happen this year, but I think they will announce that they will have, like, when their final season will be, I think they will announce the end of The Simpsons.
[0:32:12] Nick: Does it end with the movie?
[0:32:14] Eric: I don't know. Dude, I don't know. When do they announce it? I don't know. I just think that this year they're going to announce, hey, our final season is coming.
[0:32:21] Geoff: I think that's a great one, man.
[0:32:23] Eric: That's really good. Thank you. That would be so insane. What season are they on?
[0:32:27] Geoff: 30.
[0:32:29] Eric: They're 37. That's crazy.
[0:32:33] Geoff: Like, maybe they'll announce this year that 40 is the final season or something?
[0:32:36] Eric: Exactly. I'm a year older than that. That's right. That's what I'm thinking, is that it's not good. I don't think it ends this year. I just think that they will announce that The Simpsons is coming to a close. They will say, here's the final one.
[0:32:48] Geoff: You know, it's so crazy that that, I remember like it was yesterday, sitting in the lunchroom on a Monday in my high school with all of my friends talking about the first episode of The Simpsons that we'd all watched the night before. Wow. Like, it was, it's just, it's crazy that that, it's been around for that fucking long.
[0:33:05] Unidentified: Yep.
[0:33:06] Eric: That's awesome. Wild. But those are my predictions. Gavin, what's your final prediction for 2026?
[0:33:12] Gavin: My final prediction is based deeply in dystopia, and I believe that in 2026, subscription-based presidential pardoning will begin. Wow.
[0:33:27] Andrew: Dang. Hey.
[0:33:34] Eric: Hey, you know, money's money. If your money's great, I feel like they're already kind of, kind of soft launching it with visas and stuff. So, uh, you know, and it feels like they're already kind of doing it. I guess this is just mostly that it's just, hey, here's your fee. Um, well, you might be onto something. You might, you might be onto something.
[0:33:55] Geoff: I'm probably scared of how good Gavin's picks are.
[0:33:57] Eric: Yeah, it's pretty good. Pretty good. I think the most outlandish pick that he has here is that England wins the World Cup. I think out of everything that you listed, that's your craziest pick. Wow. Yeah. Uh, but Jeff, let's see if you can top that with your fourth and final prediction of 2026.
[0:34:18] Geoff: Uh, okay. My fourth and final pick will be regulation related. Uh, as I, uh, as I said earlier, it is all on me though. I'm putting, putting a lot of pressure on myself to do this. It's going to come down to my luck and my ability, uh, as a breaker. But I predict that at some point this year on the break show, I pull a one of one card.
[0:34:40] Eric: Oh, wow.
[0:34:43] Gavin: Oh, that'd be so good.
[0:34:44] Eric: That would be awesome. Does it have to be on the break show? Yeah.
[0:34:47] Gavin: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh. It's going to be on camera.
[0:34:49] Eric: Huh. Okay.
[0:34:50] Gavin: Could it be on a mini break? What's a mini break? A little, like a tiny little stream.
[0:34:56] Geoff: Yeah. As long as it's recorded and official. I mean, yeah. All right.
[0:35:00] Eric: As long as it's on camera, right? Yeah. Okay. Wow. Very interesting.
[0:35:05] Unidentified: Wow.
[0:35:06] Andrew: Boy, that would be an incredible moment. And I hope it's a card that you would want. Yeah. It probably won't be, but I agree with you. Yeah.
[0:35:14] Eric: Yeah. I kind of think it probably won't be also, but I'll be very excited to see it. But Andrew, what is your fourth and final prediction for 2026? Oh, I got two here. Okay.
[0:35:27] Andrew: I feel really good about all my other picks. Yeah. I need to pick one. I agree. I agree. You need to pick one. Yeah. You want me to, I feel so good about both. Do you want me to read both of them? And then you guys decide what my final one is? Because both of these are happening. I think you can lump them in together and then you only get the point if both of them happen. Okay. I like that a lot. That's the play. Okay. My first prediction. Whatever. GTA 6 doesn't win any awards at the Game Awards of this year. Wow. Doesn't win anything. Okay. Outside, like, that is critic decided as a specifier. Wins no critic awards. Wins no critic awards. There might be like some fan submission thing. I think it could win there.
[0:36:08] Eric: Just people voting online. Who cares?
[0:36:10] Andrew: My second quarter of this, Jake Paul gets knocked out every time he fights in 2026.
[0:36:17] Unidentified: Yeah.
[0:36:21] Andrew: I think him having his jaw injuries and getting TKO'd against Joshua will forever impact his durability. Yeah. I'll be really curious to see if he boxes again. Yeah. I was about to say, do you think he'll fight again? Uh, well, if he doesn't, I don't lose because the phrasing gets knocked out every time he fights. If he doesn't, you win. Yeah.
[0:36:42] Eric: Yeah. Um, that's good. I do think that we're onto something with Jake Paul. We'll get into that in a second. But, uh, these are the predictions for 2026. Who will be your Nostradamus? Andrew has said that Jack will acquire. Let's play the YouTube channel in 2026. He also says there will be a regulation baby and no divorce. He also says that Anma ends in 2026. And he also said for his final pick is two things. GTA six wins no critic awards and Jake Paul gets knocked out in every fight in 2026. Jeff, you said Dick, Dick Van Dyke lives to 101. The Celtics make it to the NBA finals. There's a regulation appearance on the sloppy Joe's live cam. And Jeff, you will pull a one of one card on the break show. Some wishful thinking on that one.
[0:37:32] Geoff: I like it.
[0:37:33] Eric: Speaking of wishful thinking, Gavin's first prediction, England wins the world cup. And then Trump attempts to ban GTA six. Andrew will see a regulation member with his own eye and subscription based bargaining begins. Boy, that's your prediction that I lose an eye. No, do you want me to put eyes? It just feels like it just feels like you're going to go. Oh, I saw you with one eye, you know, put in brackets attached. Well, OK, good. Smart, smart. So now you're not going to lose it. Yep. My predictions. Regulation podcast in big lights. Love it. Ska is back. Nick moves again. I love that. And Simpsons announced its final season. Wow. And finally, Nick's predictions. GTA six delayed to 2027. Andrew eats an egg. The Spurs knocked the thunder out of the NBA playoffs and justified returns. Boys, those are your predictions. I like them. For this very year.
[0:38:34] Eric: Any honorable mentions that didn't quite make the cut that you want to kind of put out there in the world?
[0:38:39] Gavin: I had one. One of my predictions. And then I just didn't want to put this out to the world. It just says somehow Epstein returns.
[0:38:47] Eric: Yeah, I like that. I like that. It's pretty good. I've seen Star Wars, so I know it can happen. Yeah. And it's pretty exciting. Fortnite will tell us about it. Absolutely. I have a couple that I felt like maybe. I said, we see Lenny Kravitz dick one more time.
[0:39:03] Andrew: What? What? Maybe in the James Bond game.
[0:39:07] Geoff: His pants ripped on stage and his dick fell out once.
[0:39:10] Andrew: Oh.
[0:39:10] Geoff: Oh, really? Like his whole penis fell out?
[0:39:13] Eric: Oh, yeah. The whole. It's the whole thing. Oh, wow. Was he not wearing undies? Probably not. I didn't know about this. Oh, it's full on. So I thought that we were going to see it one more time in 2026. I just think there's going to be like a Lenny Kravitz return of some kind this year. He's a James Bond. Yeah. I also said that there would be one zombie. I don't like somebody's going to die and come back to life. And it's not going to be like, oh, my God, I'm alive. It's going to be like zombie bad type stuff. But only one. It's not like an outbreak. It's just one zombie occurs.
[0:39:43] Andrew: Oh, okay. One zombie occurs.
[0:39:46] Eric: I also said the mall is truly back. Like it really comes back in a big way this year. And then my final one, which I wasn't going to guess, but I do think probably is going to happen, is Root Canal. So those are my honorable mentions. Does anyone else have one that they want to get at?
[0:40:01] Nick: I had one. I said Jeff was going to hit the burger average, but I was a little gun shy after last year. I don't think I have it.
[0:40:10] Geoff: It's pretty good. Honestly, I might try not to hit it.
[0:40:13] Andrew: Yeah. Yeah. There you go. Mine was a typo, but it could be a future prediction. I wrote GTA 7 doesn't win any awards at the Game Awards. So maybe 20 years from now, we'll see.
[0:40:27] Eric: It could be. Could be. Well, boys, those are the predictions for 2026. How confident are you guys in what you just put down?
[0:40:36] Andrew: I feel so confident about it, and I think everyone should.
[0:40:40] Eric: Yeah.
[0:40:40] Geoff: I think this is a great board. I agree. I feel like everything's pretty good. Except for England, I think everything's pretty plausible. Yeah, I think so. I agree. I agree.
[0:40:49] Eric: Yep. Well, those are our predictions. Our Nostradamus looks into the future of 2026. Let us know who you think had the best board here and who's most likely to be Nostradamus for 2026. But, hey, Jeff, congratulations for being Nostradamus 2025. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
[0:41:07] Geoff: I got to say I saw it coming and went pretty much as expected. Yeah.
[0:41:11] Gavin: If England doesn't make it out of the group stage, I apologize deeply.
[0:41:18] Eric: Well, there you have it, guys. Check out the Patreon. Check out the gameplay channel. Check out the podcast. And let us know in the comments what your Nostradamus prediction is. But we'll see you next time. Bye. Bye. Bye.
