Let's Get Real - A Talk Show for Guys

Why Your New Years Resolutions Are Stupid. (Sorry, not sorry)

• Michael Sharkey

🎙️ "Why can't I just chill, dude?" 

That’s the vibe in this segment of the January 4th Let’s Get Real live radio show! Michael and Spanish kick off 2025 with a deep dive into the tension between "having a plan" and "going with the flow." Is it all just man-made garbage, or is there something valuable in setting goals? Spoiler: It’s both.  

From hilarious New Year’s resolutions (eating less candy, anyone?) to questioning society’s obsession with three-year plans, we’re tackling it all with humor and heart. Michael opens up about his own struggles with "having it all figured out" and wrestles with whether letting go is the ultimate plan. Meanwhile, Spanish is here to remind us that no matter how much it feels like everyone else has their life together, they’re probably projecting too.  

Plus, we venture into the world of plant medicine, spiritual awakenings, and even the undeniable truth that time isn’t real (It's just a Tuesday to a Wednesday). If you’ve ever felt torn between being Indiana Jones—living for the adventure—and a Charles Schwab commercial telling you to get your act together, this episode is for you.  

Hit play and join us for a raw, real, and relatable conversation about life, goals, and why it’s OK to *not* have it all figured out.
