## Resource

It’s the New Year’s episode… which means nothing goes according to plan. Uncle RC waits. Uncle Chris is late. Technology immediately betrays everyone. From a painfully long cold open and a brutally honest 2025 Chris Life Review , to New Year’s resolutions that feel suspiciously low-bar, the guys do what they do best: argue, spiral, and somehow keep recording. Along the way, they debate whether Travis Kelce is retiring, relive questionable road-trip memories, and test a wildly inappropriate adult card game that proves some situations really can get worse. There’s eggnog judgment, mic-distance policing, accidental therapy, and the realization that getting older mostly just means arguing about staying up past midnight. It’s messy. It’s loud. It’s way too long in places. But hey — it’s a brand-new year. Before we were dads… we were this .
