It's the last episode of 2025 and we are happy about that. Meg and Duane talk about books, the PR team for the Bible, Iron Man and teaching old dogs new tricks and perhaps we should do that more oftern. But seriously, when was the last time someone said "hey, want to see the trick i just taught my old dog?".

This was a challenging year for everyone and we hope that you ride strong into 2026. Do your own research, read books - all the books - any book you can get your hand on- and try not to lead with fear or follow those that do.

This episode takes us all over the place. We have America's favorite traitor, Mike Favor on the show telling us his most definitely not popular opinions. Taylor Swift is mentioned a lot, as is Boston and Philly. And he might have found a bipartisan issue.

Jon has been a guest on Barely Making It, possibly in every form it has taken and now he's on the podcast. Our conversations were all over the place, like always. On this episode we talked about Thanksgiving sides, the traditional vs experimental food, leftovers, Bill & Ted, Meghan does not look like a douche with her sunglasses on inside, compliments from strangers and the classic PSA "It's 10 o'clock, do you know where your children are?". This might be the least doomsday sounding episode we have ever done. Enjoy the moment.
