Chapter 1: What are the significant pop culture events of 2025?
When you're high, you feel different. You think different, you talk different, you draw different, you listen to music different, but you probably knew that. Problem is, you also drive different, and not in a good way. That's why driving high is illegal everywhere. So if you're high, just don't drive. Make a plan to get a sober ride. Because if you feel different, you drive different.

Chapter 2: How did TikTok trends shape 2025's pop culture?
Ooh. What is it?
Coming soon, Duolingo. Have you seen this? I thought it was just a joke, like because it's an owl. Yeah, because they're both owls. It's the language learning tech company with a different type of owl mascot, but everyone's asking, what does it mean? Yeah. Is Duolingo opening up some type of multicultural in-person learning center?
Ooh, that's cool.
That'd be nice. This is America. There's no way we'd allow any of that. Multicultural learning in person? Ew. But what if it still had women with scantily clad outfits? I'm back on board. Okay, I thought you would be. And if it's Latinas, I'm totally there. That's why some people think they might be expanding Duos Taqueria, an actual Mexican restaurant owned by Duolingo in Pittsburgh.
That's a real thing. Duolingo owns tacos? In Pittsburgh. Yep, they do. I know, Pittsburgh. What is happening? They think they want to turn all these locations into Mexican Hooters. Where instead of boobs and hot wings, it's cleavage and carne asada. Oh, Duolingo wouldn't do cleavage. They would just do cool, like, language menus.
Yeah, although I kind of like it because, like, you know the app notifies you every day that you need to keep practicing. Maybe in person they could also aggressively remind you.
There's nobody more thirsty than the Duolingo owl on your app. Why not learn Spanish while ordering tacos con tatas? There's got to be boobs involved, Jeff. Stop it. Let's hear him out, Jeff. I don't know. Brooke, if you could use any Spanish word to describe this idea, what would you say? Fuego. All right. Brooke gives it fuego rating. Desensual.
I cannot wait for Jose to do his next food review with the new Duolingo Mexican Hooters. Oh, man.

Chapter 3: What were the most binged shows in 2025?
Muy, muy picante. All I know is I'm looking up that. Is it Detroit, you said? Pittsburgh. Duos Taqueria. It's a real place. I'm looking up the Pittsburgh menu for the second. I'm excited. Now let's move on to the shot caller question of the day, which hopefully is also entirely in Spanish to prep us for our remote broadcast from Hooters Cancun. Jake, dame nos un pregunta, por favor.
Oh, I'm sorry, Jeffrey. We're not in Spanish.
Oh.
I can lower my shirt, though, if you want. I'll take that. Can you believe it? Another year is almost over. That's so crazy. It feels like just yesterday we were talking about what's cutesy and demure, who's brat, and why the river was turning brown at the Paris Olympics. That's right. Oh, yeah. All of those things happened back in 2024. Oh, wow.
Since then, we've survived a whole new year of weird TikTok trends and celebrity skits. scandals and streaming service wars. But do any of you actually remember any of it? Trying to block it out. Let's find out as we do a special What Happened in Pop Culture 2025 edition of... Plenty of 20. You'll say a number 1 through 20.
I'll give you a question about something that happened in pop culture this past year. Oh, interesting. All you have to do is answer correctly to stay in the game. And today, let's start with the woman whose face looks more panicked than a CEO on Kiss Cam at a Coldplay concert.
That's Alexis. A 7.
The final numbers aren't in yet, but so far, which show was the most binged in 2025 with a whopping 25 billion minutes viewed? Is it Grey's Anatomy, The Kids Show Bluey, or Family Guy? Oh, wow.
I would never have guessed any of these. None of those came to mind. Yeah. I mean, it's hard to go against any kid. Was Bluey? I don't even know.

Chapter 4: Which movies dominated the box office in 2025?
Do kids still watch Bluey? It's still, like, as popular? Oh, yeah.
Adults watch Bluey. Don't just make it for the kids.
You're right. Actually, it's the one show that pets watch, too. Remember? Like, it's a big thing. So let's go Bluey.
Alexis says Bluey. Bing, bing, bing for Bluey. 25 billion minutes. Graze was second, followed by NCIS. Family Guy was fourth, and Bob's Burgers. Wow. Brooke over to you. Seven is off the board. Let's go five. There were some huge movies this year, like you would know. The top one pulled in $424 million domestically. That's a big number for just stateside. Which film was it?
Was it Jurassic World Rebirth? The Minecraft Movie? Or Lilo and Stitch the New? Okay. I mean, Chicken Jockey, I really feel strongly about.
Which one is that from? Minecraft.
Okay. And just because I helped out at the kids' walk-a-thon and had to hear that song over and over again because it's the number one most requested by children. Which song? Steve's Lava Chicken. Oh, this is a Minecraft thing again. I'm going to go Minecraft. You got that, Brooke. You experienced it firsthand with those kids and the songs. And what was that, Jockey Chicken?
Steve's off a chicken, yeah.
Tasty as hell. Thank you, Jockey. Better ring a bell. Try not to curse in front of the children. Okay, all right.

Chapter 5: What was the highlight of the Super Bowl halftime show in 2025?
She's finished up. Jose, we're two for two. We're talking about the biggest moments of 2025 in pop culture, and we're over to you. Five and seven are off the board. Let's go eight. Number eight. Jose, which city hosted the 2025 Super Bowl between the Chiefs and Eagles? Was it New Orleans, Los Angeles, or Miami? I don't remember. Well, I don't think it was Miami because...
I was in Miami this year, and I think I would have been like, oh, cool, the Super Bowl was here. I'm pretty sure it was L.A. I'm going to go L.A. Between L.A. and New Orleans, you're going with L.A. That is correct. Sorry, it was the other L.A., Louisiana. It was New Orleans. Oh, that's right, because they won a little way in their performance. He got snubbed.
The way that your brain organizes things in your mind, Jose. It just fascinates me. It doesn't. Over the halftime show. Loose papers in there. I kind of like it. Jeffrey, we're over to you. Five, seven, and eight are off the board. I'll go right in the middle. Six. Speaking of the Super Bowl of 2025, Kendrick Lamar headlined the Apple Music halftime show with one main special guest.
And a hint, Alexis saw this person in concert and thought they had a great performance. Drake, separately from Drake. Oh, no. That would have been amazing. Oh, I'm not saying I'm not a fan of Drake, but that's not why I didn't watch Kendrick Lamar's halftime show. Why didn't you? Why? It was a great show. Why didn't you watch it? people were over. Some new people.
I don't want to get into it.
Why wouldn't the people at a Super Bowl party want to watch the halftime show? We were interested in doing other activities together.

Chapter 6: How did celebrity performances influence public perception in 2025?
I don't want to get into it.
Let's move on. But I miss the Super Bowl halftime show.
Do you pay attention to my life and my stories and what concert I really enjoyed this year?
No, but I'm going to assume that he brought on a female artist to perform with him. Is it Beyonce?
Please!
Sounds like a good answer based on their response, Jeffrey. I'm feeling very good about it. Beyonce isn't so. It isn't Beyonce. It was SZA performed with Kendrick Lamar. They did the whole tour this year together. Yeah, you idiot. What does SZA sing? Songs, Jeff. She sings songs. We don't have time for this. You know Rock Paper SZA? You know her. Oh, oops.
After all that, that means the ladies have won today's edition of Plenty of 20. And, like, Beyonce would be a guest on Super Bowl shows. Okay, you all got multiple choices for your questions.
I had to pull mine out of my butt.
Give it to Jeff. Shock Jeff. All right, I'm going to get shocked while singing Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, not SZA. You should have made her sing SZA. In sync. Okay. Don't want to be a fool for you. Just another player in your game for two. What? You may hate me, but it ain't no lie. Baby, bye, bye, bye, bye.
