189 - Was 2025 That Wacky? Recap (kind of)

Mario and Bryan kick off 2026 the only way they know how: with a full-on banger of a podcast episode. The guys look back on a wild 2025 in their personal lives, from health journeys, love, and surgeries to unexpected ancestry revelations that sent them digging into who they really are and where they come from. It’s reflective, honest, and occasionally unhinged—in the best way possible. Can also blame the live show chat (we love our fans).From there, it’s a full recap of the chaos that was 2025. The Aliens debate the best and worst moments across sports, pop culture, and politics, trying to decide once and for all if last year truly lived up to its “wacky” reputation. And because it wouldn’t be this podcast without some big-picture takes, they peer into the future to ask the real questions: are we headed toward total societal meltdown, how swole will Bryan and Mario get in the gym, is Argentina going back-to-back at the World Cup, or is there a long-awaited Detroit Red Wings return to the NHL Playoffs? Buckle up—2026 starts here.
