This is the indicator from Planet Money. I'm Darym Woods.

It's the end of the year. We've given thanks, stockings have been stuffed, and we're spending meaningful

time with loved ones. In fact, today I sit down with my Planet Money family and do what families

do best around the holiday season. Engage in brutal, soul-breaking arguments in a fashion most

public. That's right. It's time for another family feud.

Today I'm competing head to head with my planet money colleagues, Kenny Malone.

Bring it, ya egg. Is that what they say in New Zealand?

Something like that.

That's right. And Greg Rosalski.

Can we all just get along?

No.

Not for the next nine minutes.

And in case you aren't up to speed, here are the rules.

Each of us has a spiel for our indicator of the year.

We will each have 60 seconds or less to make our case or else.

And in the end, you, dear listener, will vote on who had the indicator of 2025. Coming up on the show, we have Kenny Malone, rightfully explaining why consumer

sentiment for the third straight year is obviously the indicator of the year. And I'm Greg

Rosalski. I'm championing the idea that tariffs weren't the story of 2025.

And we'll have me, Dary Woods, seeing terrifying signs in the stock market.

That's after the break.

All right, family feud. Kenny Malone, you are up first. All right, family feud.
