Hello and welcome to Are We Nostradamus, our official regulation 2025 predictions draft.

We are going to sit down and over the next 30 minutes to however long we argue with each other, we're going to make four predictions each, draft style, snake draft style, about things that are going to happen in the year 2025.

Then we'll live that year out.

normal style like everybody does living in the moment as they say in 2026 which is about a year from now, we're going to reconvene.

We're going to go over these and we're going to determine, were we Nostradamus?

I'm going to guess yes.

You'll have to wait a year to find out.

Is everybody ready?

Or who is the most Nostradamus of all of us?

Who's the most Nostradamus?

That's a good point, too.

We could all potentially be Nostradamus.

It's just about who is the most Nostradamus of us.

The Mostradamus.

Who's the Mostradamus of us?

Yeah.

The Mostradamus.

Oh, interesting.

Who's our Mostradamus?

Now, I would like like to say from the upfront just as really quickly i have no insider knowledge on any of my picks this is all from the heart this is all

me statistical data i am just tapping into uh percentages and or just the realities of the world i hate this

i don't like i don't like the way he teed all that up um yeah We are doing this on our regular draft board just to be able to keep track of it, which means we have the opportunity to randomize names.

What?

I was just going randomize.

I was just some background support vocals on that.

It's nice.

It makes the production feel layered.

I appreciate it, dude.

Yeah.

So, how many times do we want to randomize or do we want to maintain an anag order?

25.

25.

Okay.

I was thinking 11.

Why is it 25?

Because it's 25.

25.

Did you guys all think that?

No.

Yes.

Well, me and Nick did, apparently.

Nick.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Andrew, Eric, Gavin, Jeff, Nick.

One, two.

That's 15, 50, 60.

60, 60, 60, 60.

5, 16.

That's right.

I forgot about that.

Here's 21.

Gavin, Nick, Andrew, Eric, Jeff.

I like it.

Give me the first one.

Give me the first one.

20.

I really don't want to be in a swing.

All I want is to not be a swing.

Don't make me laugh.

24.

24 is Gavin.

Andrew, Jeff, Eric, Nick.

Do you think you're going to be, Jeff, you think you'll be in the middle?

I'm in the middle right now.

Gag in order.

We'll see.

I don't think so.

And here we go.

Gagin.

Nick.

Andrew.

Jeff, Eric.

That is the official order for Are We

Damas.

And now it's time for our picks.

Gavin, you have the very first prediction for the year 2025.

Well, I want to be the Mostradamus, obviously.

So what on my list is the most absolute certainty of anything that could happen?

And I've got to go with Andrew Breaks a Chair.

Oh,

I don't like that one.

I don't like that one.

And we know it's like a September incident, isn't it?

Isn't that when it takes place?

Second or third week of September.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's real.

That's a problem for me.

There goes my first pick.

Dang.

Wow.

I don't like that.

Oh, I don't like this at all.

You know what?

Once again, I'm only feeling better about my picks.

Seeing what you're throwing at me.

I mean, you.

Yeah.

what

you're willing it into the universe i i don't like it i don't like wow it's happened every year without fail the entire time we've done this it's fair it's fair i just don't like it on the board i don't like seeing it first thing overall i'm not a fan of okay

that's gavin's first prediction nick what is your first prediction for 2025 Well, we've been playing a certain game a lot lately, and we're big fans of it.

And we've been anticipating the next release in said series.

However, while it is scheduled to come out this year, I do believe that Grand Theft Auto VI will be delayed until at least 2026.

It's scheduled to come out next year, isn't it?

Well, they said 2025, but it's like they're so obviously going to delay it.

Yeah.

Yep.

I'm here to win, babe.

There you go.

GTA 6 delayed to 2026.

That is your 2025 prediction.

Interesting.

Andrew.

I appreciate that we're all here to win, it appears.

So far, we're all going with certainties that we believe in.

I don't believe in, first of all, I want to be clear.

I'm not hoping for this.

I'm trying to win this game.

This is about predicting the future.

Jeff, you might want to brace yourself, I feel.

Oh, boy, I'm bracing.

Statistical percentages.

My first prediction is:

because it's all four of you apply to this category.

I think one of you four is going to get divorced in the year 2025.

Holy shit.

Marriages have a 50%

success rate on the U.S.

on average.

I'm not pulling for it, but statistically speaking, it seems possible.

You said you didn't have any insider info, but now that

who you been talking to lately, just out of curiosity?

We're playing a dangerous game all of a sudden.

I haven't talked to anybody.

I'm just looking at the data.

I'm floored.

Regulation divorce in 2025.

That's your opening pick.

That's my first pick, because it's 50%.

And I don't want it for any of you.

I want to be clear.

I don't want this to be accurate, but if I'm trying to win.

no yeah you do you do want it to be accurate to win

it

there's two separate things no you absolutely want it to happen no because if you want to win you want it to happen

two separate things

is so evil I'm holding your feet to the fire

dude there's two to happen because it is your shut up it's your first pick you made this you made this your first pick who else was gonna pick that you said statistically this is the one that you feel strongest about.

This is the one, and you're saying, oh, I don't want it to happen.

I don't want it to happen.

Yes, you do because you said you came to win.

Yes, because I'm

playing.

You want it to happen.

I'm playing this game as a man of heartless statistics.

Andrew, the person,

does not want it to happen.

Just because he thinks it'll happen doesn't mean he wants it to happen.

Yes, he, yes, he, this is insane.

But I don't.

No, he doesn't want it to happen, but he's just saying it's very, it's 50% likely to.

But I have to acknowledge the statistics.

And if I'm making predictions...

It's going to happen

because he made it his first pick.

I don't think it matters where I pick it.

He said that he came to win.

He's picking up.

We can make it my third pick that's going to happen.

Yeah, he thinks it is going to happen, but he doesn't want it to happen.

Yeah, I'm not even, I don't even, statistically speaking, it's more likely than not.

Like, I don't want Andrew to break his chair.

You are making it your first pick.

You want it to happen.

I don't.

I want all you guys to be happy.

I'll tell you what, if it happens, it's not going to be great for this podcast.

Nope.

No, I agree.

That's like saying, Eric, that Nick wants GTA to get delayed.

No, no, no.

What I'm saying is what Andrew said.

No, Andrew said that he came to win.

He said that statistically this is the strongest.

He said that he wants to win.

We're based on data.

Right, which implies that you want it.

He wants it.

He is putting it out.

I'm making the tough predictions.

He just thinks it's the most likely thing to happen out of all of his predictions.

Right.

And he came to win because he wants this.

This is what I'm saying.

I'm saying I'm willing to be bold enough to pick it because it is statistically.

I'm not relenting on this.

This is the craziest thing you could have picked.

This is

50%.

And then

it's, you know what?

We don't need to go deeper.

This is going to make my pick a lot seem really insignificant in comparison.

Yeah, mat too.

I said yesterday I had some spice on my predictions.

That's pretty spicy.

You did.

It's pretty spicy.

That's insanely spicy.

That's Carolina Reaper.

There's some Scoville on the board.

Yeah.

Crazy.

Crazy.

Punched us in the mouth with Capsaicin.

Wow.

Where's the milk?

Oh, gosh.

We'll turn it around.

It's fine.

Listen, I got picked two lined up.

All right, Jeff.

Follow that.

You see why I didn't want to be a swing?

Yeah,

we will die.

I wanted to come up with some really good predictions for y'all, some things that I think

have a better than average chance of happening.

I consulted with a local oracle and then I cross-referenced that with, I hired a local diviner and got together, had a little quorum.

And we think that

the most likely outcome of 2025, I think swing music is going to become its annoying,

it's going to enter into its annoying comeback.

Yeah, we're going to have to deal with that shit again.

There's going to be like a cherry pop and daddies phase somewhere, somewhere briefly for about three months in 2025.

That's my prediction.

Wow, that's crazy.

Dude, I don't want swing music back.

It happened in 98.

Yeah.

Could happen again.

I just feel like the cycle's coming around.

Also, my prediction on Andrew breaking the chair, I got it down to the month.

I think it's going to happen in October.

Oh, it's going to be late this year.

It's pretty good.

Oh, it's going to be late this year.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, he's being more careful.

Yeah.

He's standing death September.

He better be careful.

He's making some fucking enemies in this podcast all of a sudden.

Yeah.

Wait, what do you mean enemies?

Yeah,

not me.

I like you.

I'm defending you.

I'm talking about the other ones, the ones that have their knives out.

Jesus.

I came to win.

Here's the thing that I think is going to happen right on.

Based on statistical data that I have nothing to do with.

Here's my pick.

GTA 6 releases this year.

Oh, hell yeah.

I like that one a lot.

That's a good thing.

I like that.

Yeah, me too.

You see how this is fun?

You see how it's a fun thing that we're doing.

I'm cheering for that one.

Oh, you're not going to like my next pick then.

Oh, my God.

And we know somebody's going to be right here.

Nick or Eric is going to be a little most dradonousy.

Yeah, either Nick or Eric will get a point.

I like the contrast.

This is guaranteed points.

That bumps, Nick picking that there bumped mine up to my first pick there.

That was way lower on my list.

I think that's a long shot one, but I feel like if Nick picked it first, I got to pick the opposite first.

I think that's fun.

I love it.

That's a great pick, Eric.

Boy, I want to pick no divorce in 2025, but I'm just not.

I'm not even going to, I just don't want to get near anything like that.

I just don't, I don't like it.

I don't want anything to do with it.

I don't like it either.

Why?

What do you know?

Yeah, do you have some insider info?

What have you been talking to?

God.

Well,

I

am going to go out on a limb.

This is one that I don't know that I feel super strongly about, but I'm being inundated with it still.

And it's that

the movie Better Man came out.

Sorry, Robbie Williams is a monkey.

And I think Robbie Williams will die in 2020.

Yeah.

I feel like this was, I think it's too coincidental.

He was too in the zeitgeist in a time where he didn't necessarily need to be.

That's almost a tempting of fate, like saying that your friends would get divorced this year in a fun game that, you know, it's just, it's tempting fate too much.

And it's, it's just, it's playing with fire.

He's only like 50 or something.

Yes, but he was, he didn't even be the monkey in the movie.

Yeah.

He didn't even sing the monkey.

No, he didn't even sing the monkey.

He didn't be the monkey.

He didn't.

None of that.

Robbie Williams, why didn't you be the monkey in the movie?

That's what I'm saying.

It makes sense.

New game, monkey in the movie.

There you go.

So I think Robbie Williams this year will die.

Didn't Robbie Williams have an entire album that was swing music?

Did he?

Holy

shit.

Maybe that's his last act.

Wow.

So when he dies, it'll bring back swing music.

And then somebody takes him out the game.

That's wild.

Wow.

Robbie Williams had swing when you're winning.

Yeah.

Ugh.

Sounds like something else.

See, it's already started.

The swing comeback's already begun.

Yeah, but that was like 20 years ago.

Man.

Yeah, so was Robbie Williams, what we're talking about in 2025.

I'm telling you, he wasn't even the monkey in the movie, dude.

Jeff.

Insane.

That is, that's the first death prediction we've had on this board.

What are you feeling?

Allow me to be a little ray of sunshine in these

in this dismal prediction landscape.

I'm going to go the exact opposite direction that Eric has gone with Robbie Williams dying.

I don't know if you guys are aware of this, but if he lives to December 13th,

2025, Dick Van Dyke will turn 100 years old in 2025.

I predict that Dick Van Dyke lives through 2025 and makes it to the ripe old age of 100.

I predict Dick Van Dyke won't die.

So then he's not a failure.

Yeah, he has a full life.

Dick Van Dyke will succeed.

Yeah.

Like my friend Andrew Douglas says, he will have lived a full life.

Full life.

How does he feel about people that live 101?

Is that like house money life?

I think he called it bonus years.

Bonus years.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I love that.

Yeah.

There you go.

That's great.

And I arrived at that, by the way.

I hired a local prophet and then

did like a VPN thing or not a VPN.

What do you call it?

A VPN.

An online thing.

I had some Zoom meetings.

I don't know.

I'm not a tech guy.

I had some Zoom meetings with a mystic.

That's what we came up with.

And the mystic thought that you were located in Brazil.

You really tricked them.

I don't connect directly to my mystic.

When you're dealing with mystics and prophets,

you gotta come out fast.

You want to make sure it's end-to-end encrypted.

Yeah.

Tito's handmade vodka is America's favorite vodka for a reason.

From the first legal distillery in Texas, Tito's is six times distilled till it's just right and naturally gluten-free, making it a high-quality spirit that mixes with just about anything.

From the smoothest martinis to the best Bloody Marys, Tito's is known for giving back, teaming up with nonprofits to serve its communities and do good for dogs.

Make your next cocktail with Tito's.

Distilled and bottled by Fifth Generation Inc., Austin, Texas.

40% alcohol by volume.

Savor responsibly.

Well,

we've gotten through two of the second round picks, and now reluctantly we go to Andrew for his second pick.

Oh, this is a good pick.

I feel really strongly about this.

You felt really strongly about the first one.

Well, statistically, yes, but this is one from my heart that I feel.

This is one that I truly am as a person pulling for, and I do, I really think it's going to happen.

My second prediction is that Nick does some form of very public and generous act of charity that touches all of us.

That's my prediction.

Part two.

That's such a specific, weird pick.

I think he has it in him this year.

I really, I believe in him.

I think getting a sense from Nick that he's a good guy.

I think this will be the year that a

big charitable act.

You have just put a crushing weight upon me.

No, I'm just, this is how I'm feeling.

I feel, I just feel, I can sense it in the air.

How do I feel now?

First time for everything, you know, I think, I think you got it in, man.

I really think this is your year.

Do you have any predictions about Andrew, Nick?

You're up.

Yeah, it is Nick's turn.

I also have some thoughts about some Andrew's stuff, but I'll get to it later.

I'm just, I'm, I'm curious, but it's, it's okay.

All right.

Hey, here we go.

Nick, it's up to you.

Your second pick in this drink.

This could potentially apply to Andrew, but I will say that statistically, it will happen to one of us this year.

This year, one of us will have a root canal.

Yeah, that was on my list, too.

That was on my list.

Oh, that's a good one.

Yep.

Root canal.

And hopefully, now it's Andrew.

Why do you got to bring that shit into the universe?

I'm sorry, Jeff.

I'm sorry.

It's not Andrews.

Why do we have to point a fucking sniper rifle at my mouth, you motherfucker?

I hope the charity you perform this year is three root canals so the rest of us don't have to get them.

Oh, I could ask my dad.

He does root canals.

He does.

It's true.

Damn.

Yep.

One of us will have a root canal.

That was worse than a divorce one.

Now, I will say, no, it's not.

That's crazy.

It's not.

It's less personal.

I'm just going off data.

Yeah, but I won't won't be the divorce.

I'll definitely be the root canal.

Andrew's had a root canal.

I haven't heard Gavin talk about his teeth.

He probably hasn't even looked at in ages.

When was the last time you got your teeth looked at, Gavin?

Yeah.

Six months ago?

I've got it on the 10th of Feb, I think.

I mean, just so we're all aware, I'm calling it right now.

I might as well put it on the board.

It will be me.

I think it will be me.

I'm not trying to will it in there.

I'm just letting you know that I think it's going to be me.

See, Jeff, I'm not directing it at you, man.

What a crazy year for Eric.

GTA 6 comes out, Robbie Williams dies, and he gets a root canal.

Crazy, and what you're hoping for, a divorce.

But, yeah, I'm not hoping this divorce is yours.

It's statistically probable in this Are We Nostradamus

draft here?

What is your prediction?

Yeah, I mean, there's definitely a lot of shit on this board, a lot of dark sort of dread.

Um, so I'm gonna take a page from Jeff, Jeff's book, and have a little ray of sunshine one.

I think a new pasta shape will be invented.

What do you think of Dubli?

Well,

anyone?

I mean, I was going to say, we were on the road to inventing the boot-shaped pasta, remember?

Oh, so you could fill it with pasta, like you're putting your feet in the boot.

Has anyone made pasta countries?

Like just the shape of the shapes of all the countries?

Like you get a little spoonful of Russia, a bit of France.

I like that.

A little bit of France.

I think the most recent pasta shape was this Cascatelli, I think is what it was called.

Interesting.

Oh, yeah.

I think that's a 20, I think it's a 2019 invention.

I think it's a pre-pandemic invention.

Yeah, we're definitely due.

I think we're due on, yeah.

Yeah.

But, Gavin, a new pasta shape is your second round pick.

What is your third round pick here?

Ooh,

interesting.

I'm going to go with

professional athlete accidentally kills a crowd member.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Back to darkness.

Yep.

Could happen.

Thinking maybe golf.

Might be golf this time.

You think golf does it?

Yeah.

Oh, they're right there, dude.

All it takes is a hook.

Yeah.

I think it could be tennis.

Tennis.

Yeah.

I think someone's going to get mad and they're going to hit a ball into the stands at someone.

It's going to hit someone.

They're going to be old.

It's going to take them out of the game.

Hit them like right in the throat.

They can't breathe.

They're frail.

Oh, yeah.

Maybe in the throat.

Or they fall to their death.

Has anyone ever been killed by a tennis ball?

They're so soft.

I mean, they're not soft, but compared to a cricket ball.

Yeah, I mean, like, it just, it just feels like it's one of those sports where the spectators are close.

The ball doesn't lose a ton of velocity, and I can see it hitting someone and it becoming a big problem.

Yeah, I mean, Happy Gilmore's dad died at a hockey game.

Happy Gilmore 2 is coming out this year.

I think it all could connect.

Interesting.

You have another death.

Sports-related incident.

I think it's a a good pick.

It's a very good pick, Gavin.

Thanks.

Nick, what are you thinking your third pick?

Your third prediction?

I think this is a little bit of sunshine on an otherwise rainy day.

Okay.

And especially for Jeff, because I think Jeff is going to be the only one of us to hit the average amount of hot dogs.

Come on.

Now, what is the average number?

170 or something.

No, I think it was 70.

Yeah, 70.

70.

This is the, to me, the funniest pick of the whole thing.

That's a very strong pick, dude.

That's very good.

To be very, very good.

I think I've only had one hot dog in January, so I'm falling behind.

Oh, man.

I trust you.

Now there's pressure on you.

Yeah, no, you're right.

I think that was a pretty safe pit.

Now that's on the board, I have to do it.

There you go.

Yeah.

I definitely think you can do it.

I believe in you.

Begrudgingly, we go back to Andrew with his third pick.

Third pick predictions draft.

The boldest pick I think anyone could make.

Yeah, you already done, right?

Yeah,

right.

Yeah, your first pick.

Third pick, and I it's third because uh, it's you know, so bold.

I think Arizona Ice-T will be raised above 99 cents this year.

Oh,

I think they finally have to go over.

They can no longer hold the 99 cent price point, their whole thing.

That's their whole gimmick.

I think it falls this year.

How long has it been 99 cents?

Their whole time.

The entire time I think they've existed.

I'd assume that's their whole gimmick.

Yeah.

So I think Arizona ICT over 99 cents.

I think it finally happens.

Now, this isn't part of the prediction, but just out of curiosity,

what price do you arrive at?

I'm going to say $1.15.

$1.15.

I'd say $1.29.

$1.29 is a, yeah.

I think that's, but then they say jumps 30 cents in like all the headlines, and that's, that's a lot.

I think fifth, I think 15 is, you know,

it's an easier pill to swallow.

I will say, I thought what Andrew was doing here was giving predictions about all of us.

No.

And so

don't clutch your fucking pearls.

I thought that you were doing predictions about all of us.

So I was very curious to see who the final two were because that would narrow down who the

divorce was truly about.

It was going to be, I thought it was going to be like, it could be anyone.

And then here's one about Nick.

And then here's one about Jeff.

And then here's here's one about Gavin.

And it's like, boy, I wonder who the divorce could have been about.

I've been clear this entire time.

It is purely based on a 50 percentile.

That is statistics.

I don't, it's a coin flip.

Don't want any of this to happen.

Don't agree with that.

You do, but it's fine.

But here's what Jeff predicts is going to happen in 2025.

I think this is one that everybody wants to happen.

I bet it's not on anyone's radar.

I haven't done any research into the matter other than I consulted a local forecaster and then also hired a soothsayer.

We cross-referenced all and came up with the

prediction that in 2025, a new dog breed's going to drop.

A new dog?

Yeah, we're going to get a new dog breed, a boutique dog breed.

It's going to be some kind of doodle, maybe, who knows?

That is such a good prediction.

And Jeff, can I say, can I piggyback off of this?

Because it was going to be my fourth pick.

I'm moving it up up to my third now because we, I'm the last two in these.

I have a

dog speaks.

Whoa.

I think your new dog is going to say a single word.

I don't think it's going to be a whole sentence.

I think a dog is going to say like food.

Like, it's going to be,

I think a dog will talk this year.

I don't think a dog can make an F sound.

I don't.

But here's the thing.

Jeff is predicting a new kind of dog.

This is a dog that can say F.

Such a good point.

Is there a list of current dog syllables or like dog mouth sounds that they can make?

A list of dog syllables.

Let me see.

Bow, wow.

How many syllables in dog?

That's not what I'm looking for.

Art.

What do you mean a dog can't make an F sound?

It says woof.

Fucking God.

Think about it.

That's so close to saying food.

It's almost just backwards.

Yeah.

Yeah.

When did the last dog drop, by the way?

Golden doodle, maybe?

When was the newest dog breed?

You think this one's going to be a corgi doodle or some shit?

Yeah.

Corgi doodle.

A bison-freeze doodle.

The Danish Swedish.

Whoa.

Jeff.

Okay.

Yeah.

The Danish-Swedish farm dog was the newest dog breed recognized by the AKC, which is the American Kennel Club, in January of 2025.

I've already been proven correct.

That's invalid then.

A new dog has dropped.

That you can't predict something that's already happened.

I had no idea.

I did no research.

I don't think it's your full, but I think, you know what?

We can invalidate that one.

We still have 11 months of new dogs.

Okay.

Another new dog breed.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Insane.

That's so exciting.

This is so

exciting.

I didn't know dogs were still coming out.

Oh, constantly.

Dogs and apples, dude.

Dogs and apples.

You'd be surprised.

They're breeding dogs with apples.

One of them is going to say the word food.

Well, I think one dog will speak this year.

It's going to be a thing in the news where it's like, this dog said a word and it will.

It's called.

It will speak.

I think it's going to happen.

It's called Dapple.

It's

this Apple dog.

Dapple.

I'm going to stick with, for my final pick, this prediction for 2025.

I'm going to stay British.

I think that this is a surefire one.

I don't think it's that outrageous.

I think it's going to happen, and it's going to be Oasis breaks up again.

Oh,

that's going to say Brexit 2.

Yeah, they are.

I think Oasis will play some of their concerts and then refund a lot of people a lot of money.

Oh, you don't even think they finished the tour?

I don't think so.

I think they're going to break up.

I think it's going to be a very early, I don't think early, but I think it will be earlier than before they're done with everything.

I think Oasis is not making it to the end of that tour.

I like that prediction a lot.

I think that's a good one.

Yeah, I feel pretty strongly about it.

I have a lot of honorable mentions, too, which we can go over here after we do our whole list.

But a dog speaks and Oasis breaks up are my final two picks.

And we go to Jeff, who predicted a new dog, which already occurred this year, but we are invalidating.

Jeff, go ahead.

I'm of two minds.

I have a sports prediction I feel really good about, but I have an internal prediction as well.

I just don't know which one.

Ah, it's Andrew's first pick really makes me want to pick this one.

You know what?

Fuck it.

I'm going to say in 2025, I predict Andrew eats the pencil.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Andrew, 2025.

Wow.

Just trying to confirm that.

Yeah, I think it's the first one that's autumn, like already not right.

I think it might be the first definitely didn't happen one.

What do you mean?

What if you raised a hundred grand for Nick's charity to eat?

I don't want to, that's Nick's thing.

I don't want to get in the way of his thing.

That's his big moment.

What if one of us got divorced?

So you need a pencil.

What if you eating a pencil gave an MRI machine to a children's hospital?

Whoa.

And Nick did it.

And somehow Nick.

Yeah.

And it's really nice that you eating that whole bag of wet bread is what led to that moment.

It was a bed of wet bread, I think, wasn't it?

Oh, man.

Wet bed.

Well,

Andrew eats the pencil is Jeff's final prediction.

Could happen.

And then we got Andrew, who's going to give us his final evil prediction.

My last prediction, not evil.

I went statistically probable, what I feel in my heart, and then what I think will be the cold reality of the world my last prediction is that an international incident will occur due to a weather balloon uh related problem involving al Pacino

okay al Pacino weather balloon incident thank you so it just makes me really curious about your first pick where you said you really want to win and then your last pick is weather balloon al Pacino incident this is the flex pick where when this happens you guys will be like holy fuck he he is no Stradamus.

That is the point of this pick.

How does the Pacino factor happen?

He is just there.

He's part of it.

What do you mean?

It'll be made clear when it happens.

Yeah.

You'll get more details at that time.

Al Pacino, known to like to fly in weather balloons.

That's a fact about him.

I don't know.

I just made it up.

You can't fly in a weather balloon.

Well,

what is the weather balloon?

What's the big balloon that people ride in?

Hot air balloon?

A hot air balloon.

Hot air.

Yeah, hot air balloon.

That's what I meant.

So if the prediction's wrong, it's based on my not understanding of balloons and not hot air balloon or weather balloon.

Let's go hot air balloon.

A weather balloon is just

they release it, it goes real high to take measurements.

Now, it's going to be really fucking funny if there's a specific weather balloon.

I swear to God, if Al Pacino gets in a weather balloon-related incident, I fucking

be so mad.

Hot air balloon, Al Pacino incident.

Do you remember the balloon boy hoax?

Yes,

2009.

But it's not going to be a hoax.

It's going to be Al Pacino in

a hot air balloon, and he's going to get loose, and something's going to happen, and it's not going to be good for anybody.

He survives the incident, doesn't die, but it causes a problem.

He's no, he's luckier than Robbie Williams, is what you're saying.

Yes,

this actually might be how Robbie Williams dies, is the Al Pacino's hot air balloon.

And then the dog sees it and he goes, oh my God.

Nick, what is your final prediction for Are We Nostradamus?

I think in 2025, there will be a new world's hottest pepper.

The last time we had one was 2023.

It was Pepper X and it's 2.69 million scovals.

Fuck that.

Are you trying to eat it?

If it's out, yes.

Really?

Yeah.

No, for charity.

Yeah.

If people raise money for charity.

Pepper X is disgusting looking.

I don't.

Pepper X looks sickly.

Yeah.

It's got like, it's got like gangles.

It looks like a prolapsed asshole.

It does.

Oh my God.

Like a boneless wing that has no meat on it.

Yeah.

I don't like this.

This is the kind of thing that people have like a real weird like, oh, I have like a phobia of stuff that looks like this.

And you're like, I've never heard of that.

And then you look at it and you go, oh, I I get it.

Yeah, we've evolved to look at that and go, ooh, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Yep.

Maybe that's the new pasta shape.

Fuck no.

The whoops batch.

Well, that Nick predicting the new world's hottest pepper.

Gavin, what is your final prediction?

What are you saying is happening this year in the Are We Nostradamus predictions draft?

Great.

Dino.

What's a J F?

No.

Did I get like double donged?

What's the what is it?

Dino.jf.

What's a JF?

I don't know what's a J fifth.

JPEG file interchange format.

Okay, let me.

I didn't interchange.

My prediction is Gavin's last pick is dog shit.

Yeah.

Save as.

Okay.

JPEG.

Okay.

Yeah.

Save.

Okay.

Then.

Okay.

Yes.

Got it.

Oh.

Oh.

No.

By date.

Keep all this in.

You got it.

It's all super usable stuff.

Dinosaurs reboot.

Oh.

Did not see that go.

Nope.

Okay.

Do you think it picks up where they left off with the ice age hitting?

Yeah, they all die at the end.

Dude,

is the sitcom still a format?

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Yeah, Tim Allen just got a new fucking sitcom.

That's true.

And Kat Dennings.

Yeah.

And Sean William Scott or whatever.

He's in it, or he also has a sitcom?

No, he's in it.

He's like the neighbor.

Oh, okay.

Oh.

Good for him.

So are you pulling for this, Kevin?

Are you a big dinosaurs fan?

No, I mean, I saw it on TV before I went to school a few times.

Not the mama.

Yeah,

I don't really have any connection to it at all.

And you just think dinosaurs are popular right now and they'll bring it back in sort of this era of

reboots.

Honestly, it's not a bad prediction, not even because dinosaurs are popular, but it's one of those things where like a company doesn't want to lose an IP.

So they like, they just do it to do it.

And you go, why the fuck are they doing that?

And they're like, well, yeah, they just didn't want to give up the dinosaurs IP.

Why?

I bet it's more likely than one of us getting a divorce.

Autistically, I don't know.

Ridiculous.

Still a ridiculous pick.

But that is all of our We Nostradamus predictions.

Here is the board, and then we'll go to honorable mentions.

Gavin has predicted Andrew breaks a chair.

A new pasta shape.

Pro athlete accidentally kills a crowd member.

And dinosaurs reboot.

Nick has predicted in 2025 that GTA 6 will be delayed to 2026.

One of us will have a root canal.

Jeff hits the average, the hot dog average.

Yeah.

And then finally, there is a new world's hottest pepper.

Spicy.

Andrew

has predicted

that in 2025,

one of us will get a divorce, and he hopes it happens.

Two, Nick performs a charity.

Number three, Arizona ice team is above 99 cents.

And four, the hot air balloon Al Pacino incident.

Book it.

Okay.

Jeff has predicted.

Swing music music is back.

Dick Van Dyke will not die.

A new dog breed.

And Andrew eats the pencil.

Gonna happen.

And I have predicted that this year, GTA 6 will release.

Hell yeah.

Robbie Williams will die.

Oh, no.

A dog will speak.

Hell yeah.

And Oasis will break up again.

Those are our predictions.

But what didn't make the cut, boys?

What are your honorable mentions?

I was going to put that a bat gets bird flu and i thought that would probably be bad news

i had the root canal

i also had the root canal and then i have uh yeah i got rid of a lot of my dark ones i also had ai convinces human to kill itself oh yeah that'll happen for sure it's probably happening right now uh-huh but but i did indeed at the end go with dinosaurs reboot I had uh I don't know why, but I've decided the Chicago Bears are going to make the playoffs.

Oh,

that was my sports one.

I guess maybe because of Ben Johnson.

And then I didn't end up using this one because I thought the dog one was a little bit stronger.

But I think in 2025, we bring an extinct animal back to life.

Oh, that's interesting.

I like that.

Dinosaurs reboot a different way.

Yeah.

So it's really good.

Alternate reboot.

I had

Warner Brothers get sold.

Oh,

yeah.

Wow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I also have Kiss Reunites, but I didn't pick that because I don't think people know that they stopped.

Yeah.

So yeah, I was gonna, that was exactly my thought.

Yeah.

So that's why I didn't pick it.

I went, I don't think that anyone knows that they aren't doing anything anymore.

They deunited.

Yeah.

Janko Jeans are back, but I'm only medium on that one.

I think that there will be like a resurgence, but like only on TikTok.

You'll like never see it in the wild.

I also put Jake Paul retires from boxing, but that's part of a longer play that I think doesn't happen until 2027.

So I don't think it happens this year.

Do you think he retires from boxing and combat in general or he moves into a different combat sport?

Here's what I think Jake Paul does over the next three years.

He will have one or two more fights.

He will announce his retirement from boxing.

He will go to rehab.

He will become a weird Christian guy and talk about how much cocaine he was doing while he was boxing and doing all this stuff.

And I can't suffer through the Jake Paul cocaine rehab press tour.

I can't, I can't do it.

I know it's coming, but I can't do it.

Do you know what's worse than that?

Do you know what's on the other end of that?

What?

He runs for some sort of public office.

Oh, absolutely.

Yes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Uh-huh.

100%.

And then I also wrote down, I don't really know what this one means, but it was one that I was sort of like, what could it be?

The moon comes to us.

Yeah, like, what could that be?

Is sort of like, that's like the intrigue was more than like the actual prediction of like what would the what would that mean the moon is closer now.

I don't know maybe but I think it could just mean that the next moon landing they just bring a shitload of moon back.

Could be

start flogging moon.

Yep.

Could be

we got to do something with all this stuff.

We're not doing anything with this moon.

I think most of the moon is in is in Houston right now.

Is that right?

And we only have like a little bit, right?

It's not like we have like a lot of moon.

Yeah, I think the most moon is in Houston.

Yeah, we call it Moonston, but it's okay.

They should brag more about that.

Anyone have any other honorable predictions?

Honorable mentions here?

I only had one other one, and it was purely selfish and purely sports, and it was that the Spurs would make the Western Conference finals.

They're not going to.

Nick, I really love that you didn't even say win the championship.

You went like, my bold prediction is they don't even win like the what's Eric, they're sub-500.

Let them have a win.

My fucking egg.

My prediction is they make it to the third round of the playoffs.

Good lord, dude.

Oh, man.

They wild cards sneak their way in.

Those Spurs go.

Yeah.

I was originally going to have mine start vague and just get more and more specific until something incredibly specific happens.

So my last one was going to be a lunatic breaks into Big Ben and puts a watch strap on the back and sets the world record for the biggest watch worn.

Oh,

that's such a cool one.

That's a really fun one.

That's Gavin.

I cannot wait to revisit these in one year from now.

I can wait to revisit some of them.

Yeah.

No, I can't wait to prove some of these wrong.

Yeah.

I also

can't wait

to be like,

separated isn't divorced, Andrew.

Separated isn't divorced.

He doesn't count.

Yeah, divorces take a long time, I think.

Yeah.

It's just Cumbles counting.

I'm also going to argue that whatever Nick does is not for charity.

What do you mean?

I love people.

I want to help people.

Why are you laughing?

What?
