On the music side, the conversation shifts to DSP year-end summaries (58:55), and the guys debating what their “For You” pages really say about their listening habits.

Social media gets spooky with X’s new location-sharing update (1:06:36), drawing privacy concerns and laughs over how petty tech can get. The guys call out the clowns behind the screen before pivoting to sports.
