In the amazing 4 year anniversary special, Kael and PB start off with an announcement about Kael's grad school placement, then we immediately start debating whether the Star Wars Sequels were worse than the Prequels, then we fancast the new Batman for the DCU. After the ad break, Kael drinks a million gallons of Haterade and talks about the shooting at the White House Correspondent's Dinner, Erika Kirk, and how happy the country will be when it finally happens. Big Red Button: You get $1000 every day, BUT your clothes disappear at a random time.

Episode 178: Four-nus Anus (Fourth Anniversary Special)

In this episode, we have on one of the biggest and most fun personalities in the Pokemon community, Cush. You may know him from his participation in the DeliciousJames and ZaneGames Pokemon game show series, or from his smash hit video where he completes the Pokedex using only surprise trades. We talk about his journey on YouTube, the origin of his name and profile pic, the importance of networking, our fondness for KYR SP33DY, and how jealous I am of his Hawaiian weather (for context, it is currently -1 degrees Fahrenheit and I've been stuck inside all day, meanwhile he's got 75 degrees and sunny).

Incredibly Influential Interviews: Cush

In this short episode, I had the flu last week so I'm trying to take it easy while I talk about the news, including the quick war in Venezuela and the capture of Maduro. When we come back, I realise I forgot to wish everyone a happy new year and realise that in half a decade, no consequences happened for a seditious coup attempt. We are so cooked.

January 6th, 2026- Incredibly Influential Solo Session, 5 Years Since Coup Edition

In this episode, I start out by talking about the absurdity of advertising scent-based products (soaps, deodorants, fragrances) online where no one can smell them, then go into a wrap-up of the year I've had. Overall, in spite of losing a cohost, it went pretty well. After the ad break, I contemplate what I'll be up to next year, and I go over my grades, as well as thanking you guys for sticking with me in 2025. I hope you all have a happy new year and you guys choose to join me in 2026.

December 30th, 2025- Incredibly Influential Solo Session, New Year's Eve Eve Edition

In this episode, I give you guys an extra bit of content this week where I review the new Avatar film that came out last week. I have some pretty nuanced feelings on it but you should listen for yourself. I also throw in some shade for the stupid Harry Potter prequel movies, the Fantastic Beasts ones. Check it out and have a happy holiday.

Bonus Episode: Avatar: Fire and Ash Review

In this solo session, I try to pack in a lot to tide you guys over since I skipped a week for finals. I talk about that and also how absolutely stupid everyone and everything is in the American government right now. I also don't talk about Avatar 3, but that will be a little bonus coming out tomorrow. When I come back, I keep harping on about the stupid people in government but I then throw some shots at the stupid people who share my last name, mostly my dad. If you're interested in some hot gossip and some intrafamily drama, stay tuned.'

December 23rd, 2025- Incredibly Influential Solo Session, Christmas Eve Eve

In this episode, Kael is on his own again and talks about the recent headlines such as Alina Habba (the BJ queen) resigning, the tariffs not working (as usual), and the proposed purchase of Warner Bros. by Netflix and/or Paramount, as well as others. I go off on people who like Five Nights at Freddy's since the sequel to the first movie is doing gangbusters at the box office. We also discuss the answers to the Stupid Question. Immediately after the ad break, we talk a little more before I bring up the 5th and final season of Stranger Things and talk about how terrible the hair is. It's so bad. Dustin's is good, though.

December 9th, 2025- Incredibly Influential Solo Session, The Stupid Question

In this episode, my mom offered to pay me a lot of money to come on as a guest. Was it worth it? Hell no. We start off mostly okay until I start going through my "liquid assets" (merch coming soon) and then it just starts going off the rails. I make a fatal mistake when I come back from the ad break and open another beverage and then she really starts saying some very embarrassing stuff. Big Red Button: You'll never be thirsty BUT you're always hungry.

Episode 177: Truly Out of Ideas (Featuring Kael's MOM)

Instead of a normal episode, I decided I'd give you guys a free commentary that would normally have been a Patreon exclusive (you still get early access, Patrons)! Big Beak and I have reconnected after a year and since he is the undisputed king of Peanuts YouTubers, I asked him to join me in watching a stone cold classic, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Enjoy!

IIHS Watch Party: A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (Featuring Big Beak Entertainment)

In this solo session, we talk about the leaked Epstein emails (including Donald Trump's escapades with "Bubba") as well as ethnic Balkanisation. After that, we find more things to get mad about, such as the "meat with bones in it" industry, people riding electric scooters on the sidewalk, and Bart Baker.
