Last week, we did the thing you’re never supposed to do — we actually scored our New Year’s resolutions.

So now it only felt right to post the episode where all of those goals were born.

This bonus episode takes you back to New Year’s Eve 2023 into 2024, when we confidently set our 2024 resolutions, talked big about family goals, and genuinely believed we were about to crush it.

If you just listened to S04E002: Dropping the Ball, this is the perfect companion episode. You’ll hear the original intentions, the competitive energy, the food-based rewards, and the optimism that only exists before January reality hits.

Some goals held up.

Some quietly disappeared.

And some… make last week’s scoring even funnier in hindsight.

Think of this as:

• the origin story

• the “before” picture

• and the receipts we probably shouldn’t have kept

Listen back. Judge gently. Or don’t. We didn’t.

🎧 This is a bonus re-release from Season 2, shared to pair with our latest episode.
