Ep.12 92% of Resolutions Fail! (And Other Explosive New Year's Facts)

from Archives and Anchovies · host James Kulon

What do ancient Babylonians, exploding bamboo, and your abandoned gym membership have in common? They’re all part of the bizarre, beautiful, and kind of sad story of New Year’s traditions.We’re diving DEEP into why we make resolutions (hint: we’ve been doing it for 4,000 years), why they fail spectacularly (spoiler: 92% crash and burn), and why we literally explode things in the sky every December 31st.This episode is part history lesson, part therapy session, and part roast of our collective inability to stick to anything we promise ourselves after too many drinks on December 31st.If you’ve ever failed a resolution (so… everyone), this one’s for you.#NewYearsResolutions #NewYears2026 #Resolutions #GoalSetting #NewYear#podcast #historypodcast #Educationpodcast #Comedypodcast #Culturepodcast
