Happy Last Episode of the Year! We spiral immediately upon realizing it is "National Still Need To Do Day," leading to a panic about our unaccomplished goals for 2025 and a decision to simply give up and "eat plastic". We battle a snowstorm and a power outage to bring you this episode, featuring Dan eating toast in a full snowsuit while the driveway remains buried. We also discover the aesthetically pleasing perfection of the February 2026 calendar and update you on the Craig Conover race challenge (he's training in 63-degree weather; we are drinking Red Bull and Midol).In sports, we analyze the conspiracy theory that HBO's Hard Knocks is rigging the Eagles' season for better TV ratings and obsess over the adorable new Winter Olympics mascot, Tina the Stoat. Erin shares a traumatic story about "shopping as a sport," which involved a declined credit card and crying in front of a stranger at the register. To close out the year, we run through a gauntlet of random headlines, covering the discovery of Travis Kelce's abandoned storage unit, the viral "science" claiming Nerds Gummy Clusters work like anti-anxiety medication, a man wearing 137 t-shirts for a half-marathon, an escaped lab monkey finding refuge in New Jersey, and a fascinating look at the efficiency of specialized China factories.
