It's 2026, and if you've already abandoned your New Year's resolutions, you're right on schedule. This week, Paul and Marc are calling out the pressure behind the "New Year, New Me" mentality and sharing a much healthier, more realistic way to approach the year ahead.

Whether it's swapping rigid goals for daily habits, embracing the ancient Alpine ritual of the "Raunächte," or just giving yourself permission to use January as a month to rest and declutter instead of sprinting out the gate, we're rethinking how we measure progress. We also catch up on Marc's staycation turned 4 AM warehouse party, Paul's South African escape, and the ridiculous reality of lost luggage. Drop the guilt, skip the resolutions, and let's figure out what actually matters this year.
