  • Old TV, New AI, and Why New Year’s Resolutions Are Dumb
    Jan 6 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.

    This week’s highlights

    📺 Why old TV and reruns worked—and endless streaming doesn’t

    🎞 Black-and-white movies, colorization, and artistic intent

    🤖 AI comedy, AI creepiness, and where the line should be

  • New Year's Eve in Times Square, Remembering Y2K, and AI Fears in 2026
    Dec 30 2025

    As the calendar flips to 2026, the Tuesdays crew debates whether the future ever turned out the way we expected (spoiler: still no flying cars), why the 2020s don’t seem to have a defining identity, and whether New Year’s Eve is wildly overrated or best enjoyed from the couch. The conversation winds through Y2K fears, AI anxiety, fake viral videos, the cons of celebrating in Times Square, and the surprisingly un-astrological origins of January 1st—before ending with unhinged babysitting stories and kids saying their first bad words.

    This week’s highlights:

    🎆 Why 2026 still sounds like the future (and somehow doesn’t)

    🤖 Y2K fears vs. modern AI anxiety

    🗽 Why Times Square on New Year’s Eve sounds like a nightmare

    📅 The history of why New Year’s Day is January 1

    🦜 Fake AI videos

    😬 Babysitting gone wrong and kids learning new words

    2. Cockatoos dancing (and why they do)
    3. History.com’s breakdown of the history of New Year’s celebrations

    A holiday episode of The Tuesdays wanders through the chaos, humor, and nostalgia of the season. The group debates which movies truly belong on the big screen, reacts to Sofia’s packed night at a popup Christmas bar in NYC, and contrasts it with Justin’s quiet, candlelit visit to a historic 1800s village. Along the way, Tony G shares the frustration of a holiday cocktail menu that never materialized, Stacy unwraps one of the strangest gifts she’s ever received, and everyone reflects on the toys, marketing, and moments that made Christmas feel magical growing up—even if they don’t exist anymore.

    Snow days set the tone for a wide-ranging winter episode of The Tuesdays, as Stacy, Sofia, Justin, and Tony G swap memories, debate what’s been lost with remote school and work, and revisit favorite cold-weather traditions. The conversation shifts to a somber reflection on the death of legendary director Rob Reiner, before veering back into holiday shopping stress and the internet’s favorite headline: a repeat-offender Virginia raccoon who broke into a liquor store, got drunk, and passed out in the bathroom.

  • A Rockefeller Tree Kiss, Zootopia 2, and the Diddy Doc
    Dec 9 2025

    Sofia takes a tumble down the stairs, Justin shocks the group with a Hallmark-movie-level NYC date (and a kiss!), and the crew breaks down Zootopia 2 — from the will-they-won’t-they with Judy and Nick to that fact that a kid movie has a neck stabbing. Then they ick through Puff Daddy’s Netflix doc, lament movie theater prices, and finally share the ultimate personality test: everyone’s Spotify Wrapped ages, top artists, and embarrassing playlists.

    "Hey, but you gotta kiss under the tree - you need that minty breath."

    This week’s highlights:

    🐾 Sofia vs. the stairs: a sprain, some crawling, and why didn't she call Mom?

    🌆 Justin’s NYC date: museums, holding hands, and a Hallmark-worthy kiss

    💸 Why movie theaters are broke (and why popcorn is $400)

    📺 The Diddy documentary: so much we didn't know

    🎧 Spotify Wrapped: our ages, our top artists, and why can't Spotify separate the kid songs?

Stacy shares how she got guilted into a five-mile turkey trot and beat her goal ... by 28 seconds. The group debates ketchup vs. mayo on egg sandwiches, reviews a truly terrible Taco Bell key lime pie, and gives early thoughts on Zootopia 2. Justin also reveals his newest vintage toy obsession—Army Ants—and how he finally tracked them down on a holiday weekend toy hunt.

Sofia still hates cooked apples, Stacy is gearing up for her hot-chocolate-bar era, and Tony G … well, TonyG is MIA doing “homework.” The trio covers everything from Christmas-light nostalgia and the chaos of the Macy’s Parade to the reopening of Toys“R”Us, bizarre Thanksgiving food opinions, and which movies you should see this weekend (spoiler: Zootopia).

  • What’s Up With AI Singers? + The Ultimate Thanksgiving Sides Bracket
    Nov 18 2025

    Stacy, Sofia, and Tony G dig into the sudden rise of AI-generated singers — including a country song topping the charts from an artist who isn’t even real. They discuss the two new "artists" and debate whether this is creativity, a shortcut, or the start of something messier.

    Then it’s time for The Ultimate Thanksgiving Sides Bracket.

    Mashed potatoes, stuffing, mac & cheese, Brussels sprouts — it's all up for grabs. Mac & cheese fights for its life, cranberry sauce sparks a classification war, and Tony’s lactose intolerance becomes a plot twist.

    "Stuffing needs you. It needs you now more than ever."

    This week’s highlights:

    🎤 AI singers topping the charts (and are we ok with it?)

    🦃 The Thanksgiving Sides Bracket: chaos, carbs, controversy

    🎟 Sofia’s Jonas Brothers impulse buy

    🥄 Tony’s holiday food survival strategy
