A year that felt like a shrug still gave us more to laugh about than we expected. We start with brutal honesty—2025 gets a solid six out of ten—then sift the moments that made it strangely memorable: norovirus advisories that told you not to visit hospitals because “everyone’s ill,” bumblebee declines that quietly threaten our breakfasts, and the delicate line between a sharp heckle and a derailed gig. Along the way we tussle with AI that suggests designs it refuses to make, unpack why “neutral” TV hosts feel suspiciously synthetic, and revisit a stand-up hour that swaps belly laughs for brand power.
Hit play for a warm, sceptical, and very human rewind of 2025. If it made you smirk, share it with a friend. And if you shouted “mountain lion,” leave us a review and tell us why you’re right.
