2018 Predictions
It's 2018, so naturally the Nostradami (that's the plural of Nostradamus if you were wondering) hazard some optimistic (and pessimistic) guesses about what will happen in the new year. But first, we give a brief history of the Lonely Island because of course we do, we do some shoutouts to our amazing listeners, and Jarvis talks about how crappy it feels to promote his stuff (which reminds me please leave us a review on itunes) In the topic, we discuss (without spoiling our predictions) Logan Paul, Black Panther and diversity (or lack thereof) in Hollywood, cross-cultural music phenomena like gangam style and despacito, and finally justin timberlake's upcoming album. As always, we get weird, but new in this episode we get pretty heated while talking about some of the topics, so be sure to listen!

Cleaning House
In preparation for 2018, the boyz clean house. We get really vulnerable about where our mental health has been at lately, Jordan has an apology to the listeners, we talk about how the show has changed our relationship with eachother and finally and we discuss our new years resolutions for the pod. It wouldn't be Sad Boyz without some banter on obtuse subjects, so we also spend time talking about stand up comedy, how neither of us has seen Seinfeld, and we laugh so hard we cry @sadboyzpod
