Welcome to Stuff Mom Never Told You from How StuffWorks.com.

Hello and welcome to the podcast. I'm Kristen.

And I'm Caroline.

And Caroline, let's just go ahead and do this. Five, four, three, two, one. Happy new podcast. Happy new podcast. Folks, guess what? We made it through 2013 and it is 2014 we're coming at you the very first day of the year if you are listening to this the date is coming out and if you are i hope that you are

feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed from the evening beforehand. I know I typically do on New Year's Day.

That's right, because you know what makes the head feel great is a few glasses of champagne.

Yeah, definitely.

And Caroline, you know a great way to start a new year with a rerun.

I think it's an interesting rerun, very, very topical.

Yeah, you know Old Langxine, where may old acquaintance be forgot, well, we're going

to actually remember, we're going to do the opposite and remember last year's episode on

New Year's resolutions, because tis the season for making resolutions. That's right. And last year we took a look at the science of New Year's resolutions because tis the season for making resolutions.

That's right.

And last year we took a look at the science of New Year's resolutions and willpower

to find out whether or not we really have a very good chance of sticking to our guns on them.

That's right.

And this year, I can't say that my resolutions, I don't really tend to make

them. I can't say that they're very different for this year, mainly just to continue to try to get up

early in exercise before work. Yeah, I'm right there with you. I'm resolving to get up earlier as well.

I'm not looking forward to it.

No, bed is so comfortable.
