In this episode of the "Mackey Rat Podcast," the hosts delve into the recent wildfires in Los Angeles, specifically the Palisades and Eaton fires. The main host, Mr. X, pledges to drive into the Palisades fire and kill himself if the episode doesn't receive at least 20 views, setting a darkly humorous tone for the discussion. They humorously suggest that the only people who will hear the truth about the fires is a comedy podcast that no one listens to.

They discuss conspiracy theories and rumors surrounding the fires, including a controversial short from The Daily Show suggesting climate change as the cause, which the hosts refute. Mr. X and the cohost, Caleb, debate whether diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives or reduced firefighting budgets contributed to the fires, ultimately attributing the severity of the fires to a buildup of underbrush following unusually heavy rains the previous year.

The conversation also touches on Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass's absence in Africa during the fires and her alleged reduction of the firefighting budget, which they later clarify was not the case. They criticize the mainstream media's coverage and highlight the impact of the fires on residents, including a story about someone they knew whose house burned down.

Sylvester Stallone also makes an appearance, upset that his idea for Rocky 7 was rejected. He wanted Rocky to come out of retirement at nearly 90 years old and fight an influencer, and also to wear a turtle skin suit.

EPISODE 130 OF OUR AMAZING COMEDY PODCAST! A WHOLE YEAR COMPLETE!

It's been another entire year together. Here's a summary of the ep via A.I.!

The "Mackie Rat Podcast" New Year's special is a chaotic, off-the-rails mess. Hosts Mr. X and Caleb attempt a show with guests, but it devolves into absurd tangents. A recurring "prank" from guest Roy sets the tone for the disarray. They struggle with Discord, misremember New Year's lyrics ("Auld Lang Syne"), and debate a "69-second" countdown. They launch into bizarre takes on Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake and "69 God," including graphic sexual commentary. A running gag involves the missing "Sleepy Brown Z" guest, later revealed to be an acquaintance. They poke fun at celebrity lookalikes and over-stereotype a fictional Indian wrestler, then transition into "analyzing" Indian street food. They touch on Jay-Z's legal troubles, also making suggestive jokes about it. They suggest creating a black version of The Onion called "The SONian." There is a discussion about the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, chili dogs, and the fact that they can't remember anything they have seen recently. They give a quick overview of some past highlights.

Mr. X and Caleb talk about making New Year's resolutions, ending with Mr. X planning to beat Vanessa. They also discuss New Year's celebrations around the world, focusing on the Spanish tradition of eating 12 grapes at midnight, the Finnish tradition of melting metal and their absurdly genuine nature, and the possum drop in North Carolina which they both find hilarious. They talk about possums like they are dangerous monsters.

Finally, they give a half-assed countdown, acknowledging the disorganized nature of the show, and wish listeners a happy new year, P13's coming in 2025, and also talk about having a great year. The episode is defined by its absurd humor, inside jokes, and the hosts' acceptance of chaos. It's a conversational experience meant for listeners who enjoy a free-wheeling and often offensive show. They also make jokes about selling P13 in a DVD case because they don't have the rights to it.

Mr. X and Kaleb, celebrate their third annual Christmas extravaganza, expressing their love for Christmas and sharing their unique, humorous takes on the holiday season. They discuss the challenges with non-copyrighted Christmas music and emphasize their commitment to using copyrighted music, highlighting the importance of standing up for one's beliefs.

They also touch on personal changes, such as the departure of a previous co-host, Nate, and plan a one-year "Nate's been gone" extravaganza.

Mr. X humorously uses famous Christmas songs to express his feelings about his wife, Vanessa, and they both share their cynical views on typical holiday celebrations, preferring to spend their time differently.

The conversation takes a turn towards the religious aspect of Christmas, with Mr. X proposing a new theological idea involving the magical assistance of animals during Jesus' birth.

They humorously discuss the story of Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding feast, and Mr. X shares his belief that the animals in the stable helped tend to Jesus when he was born, in a Disney-like fashion.

They also talk about the commercialization of Christmas, the challenges of gift-giving, and the unique traditions they observe. They reflect on societal issues, such as homelessness and the behavior of people during the holidays.

Throughout the episode, they maintain a light-hearted and humorous tone, engaging in witty banter and sharing personal anecdotes. They also encourage listeners to follow them on Twitter and Blue Sky.

Another quality episode of our COMEDY PODCAST!

We start the show with some brainstorming on how we can become more popular. We also talk about Mark Cuban. We shout out the Stupid History Minute.

Mr.X is highly depressed, we are alone, we have nothing left to believe in ... Hailey WELCH has BETRAYED US!

She released a 'meme coin'. It's dumb. And maybe illegal.

Dave BLUNTS is our 2024 artist of the year because of his set at JuiceWorld. Imagine if his oxygen tank caught fire and exploded.

Pizza is DEAD! Sort of ... but the Oath Keepers can save it!

People do not care about an assassination of the CEO of United Health. It is kind of cool. But, ultimately, it brings us no joy - as we are a joyless duo. The assassin will NOT be found.

Mr.X closes with a heartfelt decry to the fans.

Shout out to SuperSiSi, CinematicLeap and JuggaloBastard.

At the end we talk about how Luffy was in the Macy's Day Parade.

All in all - yeah, it's pretty funny. ENJOY!
