I Hate Talking
Happy New Year and a Brief on New Years Resolutions
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This New Year’s mini episode skips the usual full-length conversation so the hosts can briefly ring in 2026 and connect with listeners. Dropping on January 1, they share lighthearted New Year’s resolutions: one aims to see or watch a stand-up comedy show at least once a month to prioritize joy and laughter, while the other jokingly renews an old “resolution” to never make formal resolutions again, but admits wanting to get back to healthier habits around diet and exercise.
They invite listeners to share their own resolutions via comments, email, or text, and confirm that regular episodes of I Hate Talking will resume with a full show on January 8, 2026. The tone is warm, quick, and hopeful—offering a short “happy New Year” touchpoint before the podcast returns to its usual weekly rhythm.

So just like last week, no full episode this week, but we will wish everybody -- a happy -- New Year. Yes, happy 2026, everyone. So, this particular episode will drop on January 1st, 2026. And I guess, do we have any particular New Year's resolutions for 2026? Yeah, I actually do. I want to go to either a comedy show or watch a comedy show at least once a month. Once a month, yeah, yeah, I mean, I guess watching on TV, that's definitely achievable. Going there in person, that seems like it might be. Bit of a stretch, but I suppose it's possible. Right, but I do love laughing, and I think I wanna spend my time, more leisurely time instead of watching a movie or something. I wanna watch a comedy show. Indeed, Do you have a New Year's resolution? No, not particularly. A number of years ago, I made a New Year's resolution to never make New Year's resolutions ever again. So, that was my New Year's resolution in, I don't know, 2014 and I've kept it ever since then. No, it'd been much earlier than 2014. That would have been like in, I don't know, 2006 maybe. That was a long time ago. I just picked a random year. I just picked a random year that felt like a long time ago and it came to be 2014 and then I realized that that's not far away enough in the past. Wow. 2006 was 20 years ago. Yeah, that's probably when I made that New Year's resolution. So it was made more of a joke, but I do think I want to be more healthy. I think in recent times, I've not been doing as great of a job on diet and exercise, so I would like to re-enter. Particular routines that are more healthy when it comes to said diet and exercise. OK. So you, our listeners can let us know if you have any particular New Year's resolutions. And you can always do that through sending us an email, a text, or leaving a comment on whatever podcast platform you are listening to this podcast on. Yes. Happy New Year, everyone. So we plan to have a full episode next week on January 8th, 2026. Yeah, we'll see you guys then. So from your friends at I Hate Talking, until next time, remember, it is only through talking that we begin the journey to understanding.
