VYS0056 | The Weird Review of the Year 2025 - Part 1

It's that time again - time look back at the year that was, and that was a year that was weird. Hine and Buckley have barely recovered from the horrific ordeal of looking back at 2024 but they bravely get their shit together just about enough to sift through the ragged tatters of weirdness that held together the fabric of reality of 2025.

The Vayse boys encounter the usual suspects: Lue Elizondo, Christopher Mellon, Eric Davis et al, and some new (to the Vayseverse) recurring characters: Mark Christopher Lee, Avi Loeb and the sinister genetics company Colossal Biosciences.

In this dizzying dance through to June of 2025 there are also highly strange encounters with egg shaped UFOs; wooly mice; twitchy dangling robots; foul mouthed relatives of his holiness the Pope; the wreckages of persistent bullshit-talking dullard, Elon Musk's childish, egotistical, spacefaring ambitions; soldiers on the moon... and some mother-fucking snakes on a mother-fucking plane... (recorded 22 January 2026)
