Move the Mic Stand - New Year, Who Dis?

January 1, 2026·1 hr 33 min·5 clips

Cash Money Carl opens with a sponsor read for MinigolfReviews.com, including the site’s new mini golf hole every day and the idea of a National Archive of Minigolf. It is a goofy enough lead-in to set the tone. From there, the show barrels into a New Year’s Day premise and immediately starts tugging at it. Dean and Cash keep pointing out that the recording is not actually happening on New Year’s Day, and they treat that mismatch like part of the joke. They joke about people listening later anyway, which keeps the setup loose on purpose. The conversation stays self-aware and a little broken in a fun way. A news item about 90 Ukrainian drones allegedly attacking Putin’s house gives them fresh material, even though they do not have much detail on it. What they do have is enough to start worrying about the number. They also get hung up on what people picture when they hear drone attack. One version is tiny park toys. Another is something much bigger and meaner. That size question sends them into more dumb imagery, including tomahawk steaks and actual tomahawks. The bit keeps stretching until it almost falls apart. That is where the show gets funny. The hosts keep talking past the planned topic until the detour becomes the real subject. Near the end, they swing back toward goals for the year. They talk about adding to those goals across the next couple episodes. They also float the idea of a surprise guest dropping in someday. The wish is framed as a real meet-up, not just a quick fan hello. They compare it to meeting Jake the Snake a couple of years earlier. The closer lands on the usual end-of-show countdown energy, with the ball about to drop and the final goodbye. It finishes with the tape deck production tag and the kind of messy momentum this show likes to keep.
