128 - A Cure For Optimism By 2022

We look back upon the year via some MegaCorporation's search engine trends, a stupid op-ed written by an oblivious pseudo-journalist, and a braindead analysis of the worst political predictions of 2021. Also, if you're lonely or just plain weird and need a simulated group countdown to ringing in the New Year, we've got you covered in the final minutes of the episode.
