January is already flying by, and The Tuesdays crew is feeling it. This week’s conversation kicks off with Tony G’s attempt to learn how to cook using YouTube Shorts (and why vague instructions like “a pinch” are not beginner-friendly), before worrying about library fines after holding onto a book for a decade. Then the crew digs into Spotify’s latest price hike, music discovery, why radio still matters, and how unlimited streaming choices have made movie night more frustrating than fun. They also discuss why the fan-favorite Evil Queen no longer works for Disney, Justin's director debut, and who the crew wants to see make a comeback in 2026.

The Tuesdays crew kicks off 2026 by debating whether New Year’s resolutions are actually useful—or if goals make more sense—before drifting into a wide-ranging conversation about old TV, modern streaming, and the lost art of boredom. A discussion of black-and-white classics like The Honeymooners turns into a bigger reflection on episodic television, reruns, and why today’s shows feel harder to revisit. The group then dives into the conversation happening everywhere right now: AI—what’s funny, what’s unsettling, and what happens when entertainment, images, and even people start feeling less real. Along the way, they also air their thoughts on who (and what) they’re ready to see less of in 2026.
