It’s 2026, and Manic Joy kicks off the year by going live!

Dave and Reese ring in the new year with straight whiskey, a few tech hiccups, and a long overdue retraction (stupid, Cathy).

They rewind through the holidays, unpack one of the most elaborate Yankee Swap pranks ever pulled, relive a chaotic and joyful New Year’s trip to New York, and talk Broadway, Bobby Darin, Jonathan Groff, heavy pours, and passing out fully dressed.

It’s messy, funny, warm, and very on-brand. A perfect reminder that life doesn’t reset neatly on January 1st and that’s half the fun.
