I predict that Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon will forgive and forget. They will start a passionate love affair and join together to co- found an artists cult in Simi Valley , in which each one is refered to as Zula Kon Aggoliyet , also known as the Free One. Happy New Year to all the web workers , the world over.
