In this episode, the boys take a trip down memory lane as we break down why 2016 trends and aesthetics are suddenly resurfacing in 2026. From nostalgia-core to internet throwbacks, we talk about how that era has been glamorized — and whether people are clinging to it in hopes that 2026 becomes a better year.We also shift into a deeper conversation around social issues, protest culture, and public empathy, exploring why some people view protesting as “disruptive” while others see that reaction as a lack of compassion.To close things out, we react to iShowSpeed’s viral appearance in Nigeria, and what moments like that say about global internet culture today.Tap in for laughs, perspective, and real conversation.TIMESTAMPS0:00 — INTRO3:09 — Is 2026 the New 2016?
