Ho! Ho! Ho! And Merry Christmas. Or should that be Murray Christmas?

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

I think I'm ready to go.

I think we're ready for New World next year, 2025.

I think we are ready for people that might be new to this. And why would you be new to this? We've been doing it for 15 years.

This is the only episode a year of New World Next Week that we call New World Next Year,

where the other doesn't know what we're going to talk about. Typically speaking, with the three stories we've prepped and disgusted. I want to make this point. I'll throw it to you

after this. This is the only one where it's a little wild. And yes, I've already cracked to my second

bit of libations for this special finale episode. It is by my count number 575. And what we do is we talk about our story of the previous

year and then we each talk about our trend prediction for the next year. Not a sort of this

exact event will happen unless maybe you're feeling froggy James. But generally speaking,

you're just sort of general trends and ideas moving forward.

We also like to take turns.

And I had to go double check on last year's episode that you, Mr. Corpett, went first.

That means it is Jimmy Time this year.
