Media Daily Beans, Daily Beans for Thursday, January 2nd, 2025. Today, a Tesla truck exploded and

caught fire outside of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, and lightning struck the U.S. Capitol, signaling

what we have in store for

2025. A Virginia man has been arrested after the feds found more explosive devices in his home

than have ever been found in the history of the FBI. Ten people are dead after a driver rammed

into New Year's Eve revelers in New Orleans, and trans trailblazer Sarah McBride heads to her debut in Congress, hoping for a touch of grace.

I'm Alison Gill.

And I'm Dana Goldberg.

Hi, my friend.

Did you have a wonderful New Year's?

I had a quiet and calm New Year's.

I actually stayed up long enough to watch the ball drop in New York City, and I love watching the fireworks in Paris and London and other incredible capitals around the world that do an extraordinary job. Now, listen, I know there's a lot of animal owners that do not like fireworks. They scare the animals. I respect that. But when I'm watching them on TV and I have no control over them, they are a spectacle to be seen. So please do not write in an angry comment. I did not like them. I had a very calm. I had a very calm New Year's Eve. And wow, day one, shit started quickly, didn't it?

You even put on blue sky, you're like, calm down.

It's day one.

Jesus cried, take it down and notch people.

And somebody put, there was a lightning strike at the Capitol.

Yeah.

And I was like,

L.O.L. I don't know what else to say. Like, it's, it's, it was, there was a thunder and lightning storm in New York City last night. Thunder and lightning. It was 50 degrees during the day.

None of this is normal. No. And it'll continue to be absolutely abnormal and unprecedented, as they say.

I would give anything to live in precedented times.
