| 0:06.1 | Hey there, everybody. |
| 0:07.6 | It is Wednesday, December 31st. |
| 0:10.7 | And so many of us, some of us, I should say, might be planning our New Year's Eve celebrations. |
| 0:16.1 | But a lot of us are planning our New Year's resolutions, what we're going to do better in |
| 0:21.6 | 26, what we've gotten wrong in 2025. |
