Summary

Uncle Si preps for a new year by roasting 2025, teasing his very non-romantic midnight plans, and getting hopelessly confused about whether the Black Eyed Peas are food, music, or leftovers. John Luke steers the conversation toward reflection and hope, drawing out what Si wants to leave behind and what he’s carrying into 2026. Martin winces as his twins learn a painful bathroom lesson, and John-David gets completely lost but engaged in the flood of Spotify and YouTube Wrapped stats listeners are sending.
