Only 8% Keep Their New Year's Resolutions (So Stop Lying to Yourself) | PHONE HOME

Are New Year's resolutions just performative BS? The crew debates why 91% of people fail, whether you should wait for January 1st to change your life, and why personal resets matter more than society's timeline.

Then things get real: Smooth, Dink, Willie-O and Bipp open up about fatherhood—the anxiety, the pride, the PTO you can't actually use, and why having a village matters more than money. Bipp shares a vulnerable moment about how watching his brothers parent changed his entire perspective on having kids.

Plus: The wild story of a "prophet" who predicted a flood, collected $80K in donations, built an ark... then pulled up in a Mercedes Benz 💀

And the debate that got HEATED: Is Dave Chappelle actually funny or just a martyr? Smooth makes the case that Chappelle's overrated and breaks down the "token rebel" phenomenon in entertainment.
