Hello there. Peabody here. And this is the Wayback Machine for traveling through time. And this is my boy, Sherman. Speak, Sherman. Hello. Good boy. Live from Joe's mom's basement, it's the Stacking Benjamin show. I'm Joe's mom's neighbor, Doug. And what events are going to shape 2026? You know how to find out? You head to Walmart and you buy a magic eight ball. That's how. So how did our eight ball fair last year? What's on our minds for 2026?
