The first show of 2026!  The boys are still on holidays as we record just before the new year but we have a jam-packed show.  We're joined by the J-Man as we look back on the year that was in 2025, some predictions for what the future might hold and Michael keeps everyone up to date on the slang of the year so everyone can sound cool.  After some fun ads and apologies we open a Riff File on the world of solar activity!  We examine the possibility of living through a Grand Solar Minimum and what that might mean for the world at large.  Then we wrap the show up with a classic super powers debate.  Apologies for the sound quality in parts of today's show, I don't know what I'm doing still nearly 300 episodes into this.
