In this episode, Dec RETURNS along with my mom, and we have a very interesting discussion about how different therapy is in Britain versus America, along with their different approaches. We talk about the trouble of having teenage patients and my mom explains attachment theory. Then, after the ad break, we talk about the benefits of private practice, the difficulties of avoiding burnout, and the impacts of AI on the future of the therapy.

Incredibly Influential Interviews: Dec from Therapist Reviews 

In this new solo session, I saw Spider-Man on Thursday and wrote down 12 predictions right before the movie started and I wanted to see if they were correct. I also just give a plot synopsis since I kinda started describing the events that happened and I wanted to get them correct. I thought it was funny. After the break, I have more predictions about Avengers: Doomsday that I want to put out there before December 18th. I also talk about the prevalence of AI in entertainment, specifically that new Big Bang Theory spinoff, then I go on a rant about the dumbification and slopification of our entertainment and how we need to corral off the midwits and the morons for the good of the species.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Brand New Incredibly Influential Solo Session | August 4, 2026

In this solo session, I realise it has been a really long time since I have given you guys an update on my life or made any episodes at all. Sorry about that. I tell you guys a little bit about my move and my graduation, but mostly it's a catch-up on recent movies like Project: Hail Mary (which I starred in because I am still Ryan Gosling), The Mandalorian and Grogu, Disclosure Day, and Supergirl. After that, I talk about Christopher Nolan's Odyssey movie, and HOO BOY, I've got some hot takes, but it is MID and I refuse to be silent about it. I discuss the Helen of Troy casting, the inaccurate armor and weapons, the inconsistent dialogue, Anne Hathaway's botox, and more.

RECORDED JULY 17TH

July 21st, 2026 - Incredibly Influential Solo Session, Summer Catch-Up Edition

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.'
