Best since Portland 24, which doesn’t say much considering 2025 was the year of criminally ripcorded Wysterias. I’m still waiting on the class action for the 8-minute Toronto Wysteria….

Today is a great day to vote for this EMG in the jam of the year bracket.

Great interview! This was the best one with Peter to date. He really opened up and provided some great insight into jams.

It was the best interview with Peter to date.

They are hitting 2026 hard!

Boy Red Rocks will be impossible to get tickets for.

Very nervous

Primary Schumer and Jeffries.

MSG attendance bias is real.

I’m shocked by how close the Thatch vs Big modern vote is. Was expecting a blow out.

I liked the MKE Hungersite more but it’s really interesting to see how much support the GR Hunger has.

Today’s matchup shouldn’t be close for either vote. Respect to the Thatch for being a highlight of Gonzo and going so far off the deep end. I wish they did that more often.

Fair enough, I find myself liking the smaller more exploratory jams better. But I understand why the big ones are so popular.

Boise was about 30 minutes of meh to get to 9 minutes of awesome.

I disagree

Having to vote against the best rosewood played in 2025 hurts. PHX Drip is just too good though.

I don’t think it will make much of a difference. Keep it as is.

Don’t forget to vote in tomorrow’s JOTY matchup! PHX Hunger vs GR Half step.

I struggle to re listen to this jam. During the last few weeks trying to pin my playlist down putting this jam on has felt like a chore and for that reason it’s not my JOTY.

It has a good final 10 minutes or so and I totally get why people like it so much. Just not my favorite.

Jams weren’t weak. In fact I think the top half of the bracket is incredibly strong and I would stack it up with any other years top jams. There was just less of the good stuff overall.

More of a Quality over quantity kind of year in my opinion.

My thought is there was a back door agreement between the VP and the U.S. to allow Maduro to be captured with the understanding she would work with us on oil development. There was a shocking absence of military resistance during his capture by Venezuela.

I see. I’ve also noted a bit of revisionist history when it comes to maduro that isn’t accurate.
I fear the U.S. has underestimated the ability of a dictator to hold a fractured country together. Libya and Iraq are examples that come to mind where the country is still a mess after U.S. regime change

It’s so good. I cried when I first heard it. I’ll be pulling for it in the voting.

No sympathy for Maduro, he’s the worst. But invading a country and kidnapping its ruler sets a bad precedent.

Additionally, I hoped we learned our lesson in Iraq but going into Venezuela for oil could entangle the U.S. in a long and costly affair for years to come.

It feels like most peoples top 10 are similar. Here’s mine.

I can’t believe the masses didn’t enjoy the BD Flamingos reprise as much as did. Was it a top ranked jam no but certainly worthy of top 64 in my opinion.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
