The Drain's🕳️ unimpeachable 2026 Hot or Not rundown

We've hit a pretty big milestone in listeners as 2025 comes to and end, so we're coming to you with a Long Boy. Palma and Kempa are joined by a mysterious, handsome, young guest-host to discuss what's in and what isn't in the year to come. Is this the year of the billionaire's tax in California? Will Antichrist Peter Thiel finally reveal himself after a particularly violent hangover? Will NIMBYs and YIMBYs go the way of the dodo and yo-yo? And what of the Balkans (we're bullish on North Macedonia)? Join your best friend Max, your closest confidant Kempa, and your surly uncle Güero, as we squint and mutter at the tea leaves of 2026.
