| 0:00.0 | Warning. Broken simulation. Broken simulation. With Sam Tripoli. |
| 0:12.8 | Hey guys, it's Johnny. It's the end of the year. 2025 was, I mean, we say this every year, I feel like, but it had to be one of the most insane years, |
| 0:23.9 | at least in my lifetime, certainly. I mean, we started the year, and that's what you're about to hear |
| 0:30.3 | in early January with the fires that if you lived in L.A., you almost certainly knew someone who lost everything. |
| 0:40.3 | There were people who died. Almost all of this was due to the incompetence or worse of the people who run that city, |
| 0:50.3 | who run the city I live in into the ground. We get into that. We talk about Eddie |
| 0:56.2 | Bravo's opinions on voting and whether it matters and what Sam thinks about that. We also, and this |
| 1:01.1 | is a little bit of a behind-the-scenes note here, we touch on a few things like the politics of |
| 1:06.1 | it all, Karen Bass, etc., that Spencer Pratt, the, you know, what reality TV celebrity guy, has been |
| 1:14.2 | hammering on Instagram. And the interesting note is that we have been trying very hard, |
| 1:20.7 | especially Sam, to get this guy booked on Timfoil hat. So if you follow him or if you |
| 1:27.4 | don't, just find him, Spencer Pratt. He's, because he's done |
| 1:30.6 | really good citizen journalism on the fires, and he's making sure that they're not forgotten and |
| 1:35.4 | that the people responsible for them and the continued bungling and worse, again, of the fallout |
| 1:43.2 | from that. He's continuing to hold him accountable and make sure that stays in the headlines. |
| 1:47.6 | Yeah, so if you want to go at him, you know, be like, hey, Sam Tripoli, 10 foil hat, good show to be on. |
| 1:53.2 | We'd really appreciate that. |
| 1:54.9 | Again, I'll be back in between the clips to talk about them. |
| 1:58.3 | Sam was going to call me and join me on this. |
| 2:02.8 | It's 1.30 a.m. now on the East Coast where I am with my family. So I'm going to go ahead and do it. If I hear from |
| 2:07.2 | them, you'll hear from them. If I don't, you won't. So thank you everybody. And yeah, |
| 2:11.1 | this clip is from January 13th, episode 144 of Broken Sam. You know, it's just like you voted emotionally and it just blew up in your face. |
