This episode is sponsored by Cards Against Humanity, the company that bought land on the US/Mexico border to stop Trump's wall, sued Elon Musk for $15 million for trespassing on that land, used profits from red states to fund abortion access, and paid people to give a shit about the 2024 election. Cards Against Humanity is one of the only companies stupid enough to stand up to Donald Trump. They don't profit from their political stunts, so if you want them to be able to afford a good lawyer- (laughs) ... consider buying one of their new games, like Cards Against Humanity: Tales, a book of fill-in-the-blank stories for horrible people, or Shit List, a new way to play the game where you write the answers, or Party Mouth, a new party game about shouting obscenities as a coping mechanism for the hellscape we live in. You listen to Crooked Media, so you're probably smart enough to figure out how to buy their stuff. Anyway, Cards Against Humanity- (laughs) ... apologizes for interrupting your podcast with their bullshit.

Well, we made it. Despite being approximately 1,000 years long, 2025 has finally come to a close. We came, we saw, we screamed, we laid down, we made some jokes, and some of them, dare I say, many of them even, landed. There was a lot of this year we might not want to look back on, so don't worry, we did it for you while assembling this, our 2025 Best of Love It or Leave It episode. Handpicked by the Love It or Leave It team, we tackled so many hard questions on the show this year, like, is this the end of American democracy? Has the social contract been irrevocably broken? And most importantly, do white jeans make you gay? The answer to all of those questions is, we don't think so. But we'll let you be the judge as you listen to our favorite segments selected by our writers and producers.
