It’s prediction season — and chaos season. Chad, Cheese, and Lieven review how wrong (and occasionally right) 2025 predictions were, then unleash bold 2026 calls: AI eating jobs, agencies bleeding out, Indeed tightening control, robots going physical, and authenticity getting faker than ever. Predictions are never wrong… they just haven’t happened yet.

2025 didn’t just rattle HR. Nope, it ripped the curtain down and set it on fire. Job boards hoarded hiring data, HR tech rivals flirted with espionage, PE bled legacy platforms dry, and founders played chess while workers paid. Add AI ghosting resumes, Slack DMs as evidence, LinkedIn as a minefield, and recruiters stuck in the blast zone. Pass the popcorn. 🍿

The Chad & Cheese Holiday Show is a greatest-hits remix of 2025’s smartest, spiciest hiring conversations. AI hype, fake applicants, job boards losing power, smarter recruiting, and leaders who actually tell the truth. One episode. All the chaos. Press play and start 2026 smarter.

Chad, Cheese, and Mo drop their 2025 Naughty & Nice lists. Praising leaders who owned their messes and roasting companies that face-planted hard. From Amazon’s brutal layoffs and SHRM’s courtroom fail to HR tech espionage, ColdplayGate, bourbon giveaways, and dad jokes HR would ban this episode pulls zero punches.

LinkedIn verifies 100M profiles, Findem straps 800 niche job boards to an AI rocket, and Walmart proves paying people actually works. Meanwhile, UKG and CultureAmp drop holiday layoffs, JT declares job boards dead, Chad compares TA to NFL QB chaos, and Joel brings back the Three Wise Cocks bourbon giveaway. Hide your kids—Chad & Cheese is back.

VONQ drops a Hollywood-style launch, Indeed builds even higher walls, Instagram forces RTO, and Australia boots kids off social media. Plus unions and staffing unite against AI, Home Depot protest caroling, and peak holiday chaos. Buckle up — Chad, JT, and Lieven are on fire this week.

Chad & Cheese return with the annual Jive Turkey extravaganza—roasting industry clowns, SHRM’s ivory tower, ZipRecruiter’s ghost podcast, dystopian AI layoffs, PE vultures, Messi mayhem, Google’s Gemini flex, and the €6K Dublin spy who nuked his career. Plus guest turkeys from JT, Mo, Julie, Allyn, and Michelle. Grab a drink and gobble up the chaos.

Robots doing kung-fu, Russia’s robot doing… whatever that was, a three-legged Rottweiler incident, and Dallas feeling like pre-apocalypse Road Warrior. Chad & Cheese break down Zoom buying BrightHire, Meta grading employees on AI, Verizon cutting 15k jobs, Scotland’s big win, and job seekers using Tinder to land interviews. Chaos? Always.

Indeed tightens its grip with Connect—velvet handcuffs disguised as “innovation.” Paywalls for basic tools, data grabs, shakedown-style marketplace tactics, and a new BS metric (ARPJ) built to impress Wall Street, not employers. Chad & Cheese break down how Indeed’s stranglehold is getting tighter—and why the future looks more like a jail cell than a product upgrade.

AI isn’t hype anymore. Should platforms race toward Amazon-style, automated hiring, conversion, and candidate engagement at scale.
