| 0:00.0 | All right, guys, happy New Year, everybody. Yes, it is that time of the year. The calendar |
| 0:05.7 | flips, the diets begin. The experts make their guesses, and then, of course, most of them |
| 0:12.2 | will pretend they were right no matter what happens. Well, I'm not going to do that. I am recording |
| 0:17.7 | this at the end of December of 2025 before any of these things actually happen. |
| 0:25.3 | And in this video that we are putting out on January 3rd, 26, I will lay out all of my |

| 1:37.1 | And then that really only leaves the rest of November and December. |
| 1:39.8 | I'm going to say no. |
