We talk New Year’s Eve through the different chapters of life, from teenage wildness to twenties  wildness excess and the very different energy of your thirties, and what celebrating actually means as priorities shift. We look back at last year’s resolutions, whether we stuck to them, what this year’s intentions really are, and what’s about to land in Shelby’s annual letter. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” a viral moment involving a very intoxicated animal takes a turn nobody saw coming, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” reminds us how paying attention to the small routines and familiar faces around you can quite literally save a life.
