In this episode, the guys dive deep into the cultural phenomenon of New Year's resolutions, with Pragasen taking a defiant stance against the tradition while planning to double down on Jägermeister consumption during everyone else's Dry January.
xTrevor and Nick share their thoughts on authentic gift-giving, leading to heated debates about mocktails, non-alcoholic beers, and whether the younger generation has lost their party spirit. The conversation weaves through nostalgic tales of pre-cellphone adventures and the evolution of drinking culture.
Topics Discussed:
• The futility of New Year's resolutions and why gym regulars hate January newcomers
• The art of genuine gift-giving versus obligatory presents
• The controversial rise of mocktails and non-alcoholic alternatives
• How modern technology has robbed youth of authentic experiences
• The death of meaningful coming-of-age traditions in modern society
Orlando Spots Mentioned:

Golden Nuggets:
