January is already flying by, and The Tuesdays crew is feeling it. This week’s conversation kicks off with Tony G’s attempt to learn how to cook using YouTube Shorts (and why vague instructions like “a pinch” are not beginner-friendly), before worrying about library fines after holding onto a book for a decade. Then the crew digs into Spotify’s latest price hike, music discovery, why radio still matters, and how unlimited streaming choices have made movie night more frustrating than fun. They also discuss why the fan-favorite Evil Queen no longer works for Disney, Justin's director debut, and who the crew wants to see make a comeback in 2026.

The Tuesdays crew kicks off 2026 by debating whether New Year’s resolutions are actually useful—or if goals make more sense—before drifting into a wide-ranging conversation about old TV, modern streaming, and the lost art of boredom. A discussion of black-and-white classics like The Honeymooners turns into a bigger reflection on episodic television, reruns, and why today’s shows feel harder to revisit. The group then dives into the conversation happening everywhere right now: AI—what’s funny, what’s unsettling, and what happens when entertainment, images, and even people start feeling less real. Along the way, they also air their thoughts on who (and what) they’re ready to see less of in 2026.

📺 Why old TV and reruns worked—and endless streaming doesn’t

🎞 Black-and-white movies, colorization, and artistic intent

🤖 AI comedy, AI creepiness, and where the line should be

🎯 Goals vs. resolutions—and why January 1st is overrated

🚫 Who (or what) we’re ready to see less of in 2026

As the calendar flips to 2026, the Tuesdays crew debates whether the future ever turned out the way we expected (spoiler: still no flying cars), why the 2020s don’t seem to have a defining identity, and whether New Year’s Eve is wildly overrated or best enjoyed from the couch. The conversation winds through Y2K fears, AI anxiety, fake viral videos, the cons of celebrating in Times Square, and the surprisingly un-astrological origins of January 1st—before ending with unhinged babysitting stories and kids saying their first bad words.

This week’s highlights:

🎆 Why 2026 still sounds like the future (and somehow doesn’t)

🤖 Y2K fears vs. modern AI anxiety

🗽 Why Times Square on New Year’s Eve sounds like a nightmare

📅 The history of why New Year’s Day is January 1

🦜 Fake AI videos

😬 Babysitting gone wrong and kids learning new words

Mentions:

1. Coca-Cola (and AI-generated commercials)
2. Cockatoos dancing (and why they do)
3. History.com’s breakdown of the history of New Year’s celebrations

A holiday episode of The Tuesdays wanders through the chaos, humor, and nostalgia of the season. The group debates which movies truly belong on the big screen, reacts to Sofia’s packed night at a popup Christmas bar in NYC, and contrasts it with Justin’s quiet, candlelit visit to a historic 1800s village. Along the way, Tony G shares the frustration of a holiday cocktail menu that never materialized, Stacy unwraps one of the strangest gifts she’s ever received, and everyone reflects on the toys, marketing, and moments that made Christmas feel magical growing up—even if they don’t exist anymore.

Sofia takes a tumble down the stairs, Justin shocks the group with a Hallmark-movie-level NYC date (and a kiss!), and the crew breaks down Zootopia 2 — from the will-they-won’t-they with Judy and Nick to that fact that a kid movie has a neck stabbing. Then they ick through Puff Daddy’s Netflix doc, lament movie theater prices, and finally share the ultimate personality test: everyone’s Spotify Wrapped ages, top artists, and embarrassing playlists.

This week’s highlights:

🐾 Sofia vs. the stairs: a sprain, some crawling, and why didn't she call Mom?

🌆 Justin’s NYC date: museums, holding hands, and a Hallmark-worthy kiss

🎬 Zootopia 2 review: too many characters, surprise violence, and do we like Nibbles?

💸 Why movie theaters are broke (and why popcorn is $400)

📺 The Diddy documentary: so much we didn't know

🎧 Spotify Wrapped: our ages, our top artists, and why can't Spotify separate the kid songs?
