Listen closely. On game day, when you hear Pizza Hut, you know something big is about to happen. Visit pizza hut.com for details.

This is Laugh With Me at Podcast with Jeremy Odom and I'm your host, Jo. Happy New Year, Johnny. Let me be the first to say happy New Year to you as well, and to all the listeners, of course, whether you're listening to us on the free iHeartRadio app or Spotify, maybe Apple podcasts, maybe, just maybe you're watching us on the YouTube as well. Welcome and Happy New Year Year. We've got a special episode for you today because we're going to be listening from you, the listeners. We've got your resolutions. Some, some, a lot of these you sent in either via email. Sometimes you left your resolutions on some of our posts on the socials. Either way, this is directly from you, the listener, which always makes for, for a fun episode when we get to hear from the listeners. And why not? First episode of 2026, why not get some of your New Year's resolutions? So, Johnny, if you could send me over just a couple at a time. Let's go through them, let's hear, let's know what the Laugh With Me listeners are thinking heading into 2026. Let's roll it, Johnny. Number one, my New Year's resolution is to wake up earlier. Okay. Very ambitious. Small steps. I guess nothing says personal growth like hoping your alarm wins one argument this year. Oh, Johnny, we got, we got better ones, right? Number two, I'm going to start eating healthier. Good luck on that. If I had to guess, somebody who's saying that at this time last year said the same damn thing while eating Taco Bell. Now that there's anything against Taco Bell because frankly, tb, if you want to, you know, get some kind of sponsorship going, you, I'll eat all the Taco Bell. All the Taco Bell you want. And I will podcast while doing it. So those of you that don't like to, you know, listen to people, eat, you might want to skip that episode. But I will in fact work with you. Taco Bell. Nothing against you, it's just I feel like I could hear the regret in that person in their email. Oh, we're off to a hot start, Johnny. This one is actually very similar to one of my New Year's resolutions from last year. I want to Read more books in 2026. I famously had a goal of 10 books to read in 2025. I read one right off the bat in January to never read again. So that's. That's something I'll put. I'll go ahead and put that on my list for. For. Put that on my resolution list for 26 there, Johnny, because I really do think I'm gonna dominate that this year. But basically, if you're anything like me, the person who wrote this resolution, you're gonna buy a whole bunch of books, and you're. You're gonna read, like, six pages, and then you're just gonna scroll on your phone the rest of the year. So that was me, anyhow. Yeah. Number four. My resolution is to finally get in shape, you know, and this is. This is fact. So I don't want anybody to get offended by this. But round is technically a shape. So don't act like you're starting from zero, like you are a shape. Like you are already in a shape. Just maybe you want to change that shape. That's. And that's fine. I totally understand that. I hope. No, he's taking offense to this. I'm just kind of going through resolutions. Here's one. I want to become more confident this year. Yeah, confidence is great, but let's start with eye contact first. You know how many people think they're going to be confident and just talk a lot of. But they're looking at the ground while they do it. Start with eye contact. That'll build you confidence. Okay, how about this? I'm going to stop procrastinating. Good luck. I've never met a procrastinator that has completely given up. Or no, I take that back. I've never met a procrastinator that has completely flipped and suddenly plans and works ahead. Now I'm a procrastinator myself. You can ask anybody who knows me for a long time. I am a procrastinator. But with that being said, I do believe I do a lot of my best work in a pinch. So I don't know if that's. Creatively that's the case or, you know, the efficiency, productivity type of stuff. I just tend to work better in a pinch with the moment on the line. I don't. So maybe Mr. Or Mrs. Procrastinator don't. Don't give up. Like, it's. It's. You may not overcome that, but it's okay. Number seven, I want to save more money. Then maybe you shouldn't be venmoing. Your buddy 47 for vibes. You gotta relax, guys. It's one step at a time. How about save a dollar every day? Save a dollar every single day. Think about it. If you do that, if you throw a dollar in a. In a jar, whatever you want to do, bury it, give it to me, I'll hold it for you. Save a dollar every day. Think about it. Every month you saved $30, $31. February sucks, right? 28. But what if you saved a dollar and then doubled it every day a dollar. And second day, two dollars and three, suddenly you got quite a bit of money. I haven't done the math on what that looks like by the end, but that's quite a bit of money. Something to think about. Something to think about. I'm not a financial advisor. I just want to throw that out there right now. By no stretch of the imagination am I a financial advisor. But it does sound like you would save quite a bit of money if you tried that. So that might actually be a plan that will save a lot of people money. That will be the cornerstone of when I become a financial advisor. I mean, it certainly sounds like this could be a future career path. I think maybe my resolution is I am now going to become a financial advisor. I don't know if you have to get like. I don't know, do you have to get, like, certified for anything like that? Johnny, look that up, please. Number eight. My goal is to drink less that person. Johnny made a note, left that message at 1:42am apparently somebody was having a little bit of regret, so good luck with that one. Oh, man. Number nine, I'm going to stop arguing with people online. Then just stay off Twitter, okay? Just stay off Twitter. I mean, because that's where the heat of it all happens. I mean, people get so worked up on Twitter or X, whatever you want to call it. That's the thing. It was so branded as Twitter that even now, years later, ever, it's been renamed to X. We all still call it Twitter. We all still call them tweets. That's strong branding. Elon. He screwed it up. He screwed it up. Well, stay off X. If you don't want to argue with people online or just stop, just stop posting. Like, don't respond it. You don't have to respond to everything. You know, I've tell people time. You don't have to respond to everything. Sometimes you just read it, kind of laugh. You get worked up about something, but it doesn't mean you need to engage. Does that make sense? All right. The last resolution, Johnny. Thank you for compiling these, by the way, Johnny. You're starting off the year hot. Last one. I want to work on myself. Hmm. I mean, that's pretty vague. And it means absolutely nothing, because it could be nothing. I mean, work on myself. What does that mean? I want to work out. I want to eat better. I want to save money. I mean, all those things, all those people that had distinct, distinctive things, and they. They said, all right, here it is. I'm going to save money or I'm going to work on my body shape. That's something tangible. You can work with this one. I want to work on myself. What does that mean? I'm going to clip my toenails more often. I don't know. I mean, it sounds good, whatever it was that you thought you meant in that I hope. I truly do hope in 2026 you can achieve. Thank you for submitting those, Johnny. Thank you again for putting those together recently.

This is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. This message is brought to you by Pizza Hut. Because if you're yelling hut on Sundays, why not yell pizza first?

[Andy Claussen]

So Pizza Hut. Just put out one of the coolest, like, funniest challenges maybe ever.

[Jeremy Odom]

Pizza Hut.

[Julian Edelman]

What is it?

[Andy Claussen]

Basically, if a quarterback says pizza before they say hut, Pizza Hut will give that quarterback city a pizza party.

[Julian Edelman]

Is this real? Yeah.

[Andy Claussen]

Isn't that crazy?

[Julian Edelman]

You think coaches are bringing this up in team meetings?

[Andy Claussen]

You think a pizza party is worth a false start?

[Julian Edelman]

Or what if they got the other team to jump off sides with a Pizza Hut?

[Andy Claussen]

Hey, whatever it takes this time of year.

[Julian Edelman]

100% this weekend. Let us know if you hear Pizza Hut. I know I'll be listening.

[CJ Toledano]

This week on Point game with me, C.J. toledano, and Isaiah Thomas. It shared the incredible backstory on NBA handshakes, how they're created, how they stick with you. So check it out here on Point.

[Isaiah Thomas]

Game, you better be locked in on these handshakes, because when the camera's on, there's no time to mess up. So it's really a big thing where guys is in the locker room. You look over there in the corner, they're working on a handshake over there. They're like, man, what do you think we're doing on this handshake? So it's serious. And if you really want to watch, nobody's really messing up.

[Andy Claussen]

No, no.

[Isaiah Thomas]

Everybody's just, everybody's just tapped in. And the craziest thing about it is LeBron is doing handshakes with teammates from 10 years ago that he hasn't played with in years, and he remembers everything.

[Gronk]

Hi, this is Gronk from Dudes on Dudes. I'm here to tell you about protecting your end zone with wet extra large flushable dude wipes. Unlike dry wiping with toilet paper, dude wipes clear instead of smear wetter cleans better. Goodbye dingleberries. Goodbye itch and irritation. Plus, if you take Gronk sized grumpies or as I like to call them Gronkies Baby wipes won't do. You need extra big dude wipes to handle the job. So don't fumble the ball with toilet paper. Stop being an a hole to Your B hole and start using Dude Wipes. Available on Amazon and major retailers nationwide. Dude Wipes. Best clean. Pants down.

[Jeremy Odom]

Just like a week ago, right before New Year's, I'm watching the latest Leonardo DiCaprio movie. It's on HBO, Max. It's called One Battle After Another. Holy cow. What a great freaking movie, Johnny. Like, that was a great. And weird. And I think it's the. I forgot the director's name, but this is his style, right? And it certainly has a distinct style of storytelling and visually. So there are moments where it's like, all right, what are we doing here? It's a little weird, but once it really starts to, like, move into the flow of what the movie is, you kind of catch on with what it's about and kind of where it's heading. What. What a ride. What a ride. I truly would recommend everybody that likes a good movie with turns and curves and some twists at the end go watch this movie. It's a lot. It's a lot of fun. One battle after another, I'm sure, at the Academy Awards time. And when we. We bring Grant back on, Grant Pearson to talk movies, I'm sure this is going to be one of those movies he brings up. Has to. I mean, it was just that good. But one thing I caught in there, and I really. I truly believe this is if. If I was in a crew, okay, if I was a part of a crew, what would my role be? I think I'd be a hell of a wheelman, frankly. Like, I'd be a hell of a wheel man. I could drive fast. I like to drive fast. I'm a defensive driver, so I wouldn't necessarily put myself in positions to cause accidents, but I would also be smart enough to be able to avoid the accidents and still get to my destination quickly and efficiently. I don't know. I've been telling people this ever since I watched the movie. And I'm getting a lot of feedback, a lot of feedback. People saying, there's zero chance you'd be a wheel. Zero chance you could be a wheelman. Like, you guys. You've never been in the car with me. When I gotta go, when I've gotta go. I mean, remember, your boy's got Crohn's disease, okay? There are times where I gotta go. You don't think I can zip, dive, Google my way back to my destination so that I can hit the toilet? I'll get there quick. I'll get there quick, safely, and efficiently, which is exactly what you want from a Wheelman. Something to think about. So all you haters out there, something to think about. Johnny, I don't, you know, obviously you know about this. I don't know if a lot of our listeners know about this, but I also am a co host on another podcast. It's called wtl, where's the Line? Okay. It's with Andy Claussett. And we are giving you the best fantasy advice. Not fantasy advice. I guess we do give them some fantasy advice, but the best sports betting advice and entertainment that you can find in that world. I mean, it's different. We're not just giving you the lines and saying, bet this, do the parlay, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. No, we're giving you entertainment that you can't find in that world anywhere else. We got new episodes every single week. Drops on Thursdays. You can hear it first on ESPN Radio Tri Cities. Okay, so if you, if you've never checked out wtl, if you like to bet, if you're into sports gambling, if you're just into sports, check us out. Okay, wtl, where's the Line with Andy Clausen and myself. And we've got a clip right here. I just want to give you a sample of what we're about. And this is from our New Year's Day episode. I encourage you to check it out. We had a big year, 25 was a big year. And 26 is only going to get even bigger for WTL. And laugh with me as well, but check out this clip. Wtl, where's the Line in our optimism?

[Andy Claussen]

Because we're a couple optimistic guys for the most part, and we can see the future. That's why we smack so many of these bets. Whether it's player props, futures, point spreads, we're all over. Looks to me like these predictive markets, poly market call sheet, that's where things are trending.

[Jeremy Odom]

That's where it's at. That's the new hot stuff.

[Andy Claussen]

Did you know fanduel and draftkings both put in for their predictive market license?

[Jeremy Odom]

I did.

[Andy Claussen]

They're getting out of sportsbooks. They're getting it. It's kind of weird. You're not betting on a, on a point spread. You're. You're trading money on the spread.

[Jeremy Odom]

It's more like, will this happen? Yeah.

[Andy Claussen]

So anyway, okay, so that's what we got to go where we got to follow.

[Jeremy Odom]

Right.

[Andy Claussen]

We got to get there, too. So we got some predictive style wagers that we're going to share with the audience right here, right now. And we're Also going to tell you which, what's going to hit. And I, I have one that's going to. I know it's going to be on Polymarket here sooner than later. And it has to deal with Memorial Stadium. Okay, The Huskers, this was the first year of alcohol sales. And those first few games, everybody was sweating it. Oh my God, we're not selling beer. You know, this Michelob Ultra deal with, with the Runza is not working for us. Well, then we finally had a night game about mid season and we ended the season with a couple later games and we took the top spot, just exploded. Exploded. And it ended up being over $4 million worth of beer sold and seltzers, which exceeded expectations. And that equated to about 397,000 beers being sold throughout that first season at the seven home games. Let's square that up to 400,000 beers. Okay, I'm taking the over for next year. Next year Nebraska is. Now that we've, we've tasted it, you're talking fairy nectar, some local brews, the nectar of the gods. We know what it's like. We know what to expect. Those first few games. We're not going to shy away from, from what's been put in front of us. We're going to enjoy it the entire season. So I'm taking the over 400,000 cans of beer sold.

[Jeremy Odom]

Now. I drank my share of that 300 or 200 and some thousand or whatever that was. Are you saying I need to double down next season to try to help the cause?

[Andy Claussen]

You don't need to double down. You just need to. When you see that the third quarter and you see that little, that warning like, hey, sales are going to shut down, you need to go and double fist. I need to go just the one time you need to double fist it. That's, that's all to get you through the fourth quarter. And then I'm pretty confident in this. This over.

[Jeremy Odom]

Yeah, I would be confident in that. I think people saw it was a.

[Andy Claussen]

Good time, so it was a good end. I also got this in my back pocket, kind of a cover, a backdoor cover. If the season goes as bad as summer's predicting tougher schedule, well, then that's going to help me drown my sorrows. It'll help me deal with the. What's going on down on the field.

[Jeremy Odom]

So you think we'll get more primetime games?

[Andy Claussen]

Probably. We probably will. We probably will. So yeah, I got a couple outs here.

[Jeremy Odom]

Yeah, you do. Very nice. One of the things I was looking at in 2026 is something that I don't think we really talk too much about until it's actually there.

[Andy Claussen]

Okay.

[Jeremy Odom]

Okay. I'm talking about October 26th. Do you remember what happened on that date?

[Andy Claussen]

26. Refresh me.

[Jeremy Odom]

Okay. It is National Tight End Day.

[Andy Claussen]

Wow.

[Jeremy Odom]

Yes.

[Andy Claussen]

Okay.

[Jeremy Odom]

Now in 2026, I am not going to bet any tight end anytime. Touchdowns all season except for that day.

[Andy Claussen]

That's their day.

[Jeremy Odom]

I will do it because the trends are mighty. On that day. 12 touchdowns were scored on that day by tight ends. And in 2025. Okay. That is the fifth time in the history of this short lived holiday that it has hit double digits just on that day.

[Andy Claussen]

That's insane.

[Jeremy Odom]

You haven't seen a lot of tight end scoring touchdowns this season.

[Andy Claussen]

And. And I didn't. That slipped my mind. National Tight end day is October 26th.

[Jeremy Odom]

October 26th. But I think the date's fluid. So you know how the calendar keep your eye on. I think it's going to be that week in the season, but it's going to fall on that Sunday. But either way, I know I am hitting hard. Those tight ends anytime. Touchdown on. I like that National Tight end and those.

[Andy Claussen]

I mean even when you're talking the top Tier, the Bowers McBrides of tight ends, they can let you down pretty easily.

[Jeremy Odom]

They can.

[Andy Claussen]

Very disappointing. They will not disappoint on National Tight Ends Day.

[Jeremy Odom]

Yeah. I mean everybody wants to step up for their holiday, right?

[Andy Claussen]

Cats out of the bag.

[Jeremy Odom]

Exactly. Their birthday.

[Andy Claussen]

Yep. Love it. Yeah. The quarterback's going to help them out here. All right. Okay. Here. Here's one that I think you could really appreciate. We're gonna. We're gonna go to the league here. Major League Baseball. By. By the trade deadline, the Dodgers will have signed anybody that has over 20 home runs, 25 saves or an ERA of three or lower.

[Jeremy Odom]

Oh my.

[Andy Claussen]

Any player that hits those numbers, the Dodgers will just sign and bring onto the roster.

[Jeremy Odom]

They will just sign. Oh no.

[Andy Claussen]

Yep. That's. That's how it's. That's how it has to be.

[Jeremy Odom]

You're ruining my year from the get. We. We've just started and I already know the Padres are doomed. They are just doomed.

[Andy Claussen]

You're just gonna have to tell your boys, hey, kind of sandbag it because otherwise the Dodgers are gonna sign.

[Jeremy Odom]

You only hit it hard after the trade does. Right. Right. That. Actually that's pretty smart. We. A lot of teams, A lot of teams should really look at that because then the Dodgers won't get their guys on the Radar and. Oh, that's really smart.

[Andy Claussen]

We're gonna Max Crosby. We gotta set you down. Go play basketball with your daughter. I don't care, but you are not taking the mound.

[Jeremy Odom]

He looks pretty healthy, didn't he, out there? Oh, boy.

[Andy Claussen]

That looked like a statement, didn't it? Yeah, a little bit. Okay.

[Jeremy Odom]

All right. In 2026, I'm going to change mentality just a little bit about something that I feel very passionate about.

[Jacob Goldstein]

Okay?

[Jeremy Odom]

And that's vibes.

[Andy Claussen]

Vibes.

[Jeremy Odom]

Okay. In 2026, I am not going to anymore. And I. I'm. You can hold me to this. I am no longer going to place my poly market bet for first NFL coach fired strictly based on vibes. Okay. I'm going to do homework on this. All right, Mike. Mike McDaniel really screwed me on this one.

[Andy Claussen]

He did.

[Jeremy Odom]

He's still there. He's still. Why is he employed? He should not be employed right now.

[Andy Claussen]

And, like, he's kind of, like, packed it in. Like, I'm not even trying. Like, he's just out there.

[Jeremy Odom]

He hasn't been trying since week one. Mike McDaniel and the dolphins, you really screwed me on that one. And look out for them vibes. I learned that I cannot purely use vibes for that. Yeah.

[Andy Claussen]

All right, well, I. I'm. I'm diving into trends that are happening right now, and that is with the Baylor NCAA basketball team.

[Jeremy Odom]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy Claussen]

Their average age is going to skyrocket from 19 and a half to 28. 28 years old.

[Jeremy Odom]

Next year, they're gonna sign some NBA guys.

[Andy Claussen]

They already have. They already have.

[Jeremy Odom]

They did. Yeah.

[Andy Claussen]

So it's going to work out for them. They're probably going to make a run at the Big 12. If that's the conference they're still in or SEC, wherever they're at now, you know, they can make a run at it with these guys that had a short pro career and brought them back with that, that means they're going to have some tread on the tire. They're going to be a little older, and. Yeah, that average age is going to skyrocket from 19 and a half, man.

[Jeremy Odom]

You think that's going to help their. Their ranking? You think the folks are going to get really.

[Andy Claussen]

People love it. I know that's what they. I know this is what NCAA fans want to see where we're heading. Yeah. Yep.

[Julian Edelman]

And.

[Andy Claussen]

And with n. These parameters that are just not there, I mean, you gotta hate the game. Not the player.

[Jeremy Odom]

Wild.

[Andy Claussen]

And we love the game. We love the game, so we love there. You Go, go, go get him. Is it Drew Scott? Is it still Drew Scott down there?

[Jeremy Odom]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andy Claussen]

Great coach. And, hey, I want to sign the best talent, too. I don't care if they used to play in the NBA.

[Jeremy Odom]

So does that mean there's a shot that we could get LeBron James?

[Andy Claussen]

Yes.

[Jeremy Odom]

In college basketball?

[Andy Claussen]

Very much so, yeah.

[Jeremy Odom]

Okay.

[Andy Claussen]

And he could play with his younger kids in college, Right? Maybe. Maybe a Baylor. Maybe at Baylor. I'm not going that far.

[Jeremy Odom]

Yeah. You know, I got one more for you. This is. I'm a whole. I'm going to hold a. Hold a line on this one as well. I'm going to stop in 20, 26. I'm going to stop betting the Dallas Cowboys before Thanksgiving.

[Andy Claussen]

Before Thanksgiving.

[Jeremy Odom]

Also after Thanksgiving. I think I'm out on the Cowboys completely against the spread this year. They were 6, 9, and 1 and didn't look like they had an identity other than they scored a lot of points.

[Andy Claussen]

Yeah.

[Jeremy Odom]

Which they did. They hit the over 11 times. But this was a mess of a team that started in training camp, went all the way through. I'm out on the Cowboys next year.

[Andy Claussen]

Yeah. Betting wise. Yeah. That's rough. That is what they call the roller coaster. Six, nine, six, nine, one.

[Jeremy Odom]

Six, nine and one.

[Andy Claussen]

And that push was against Micah Parsons new team.

[Jeremy Odom]

Yes.

[Andy Claussen]

It was insane. Like, you can't even make this stuff up. And he was the guy that sacked Dak Prescott as he was running, trying to score that last touchdown in overtime as time expired. Like, you wouldn't believe it if. If you didn't see that on Sunday Night Football. You wouldn't believe it.

[Jeremy Odom]

You wouldn't have believed it.

[Andy Claussen]

It's insane.

[Jeremy Odom]

It's like they wrote a script or something.

[Andy Claussen]

Is it really. Is it? There you go.

[Jeremy Odom]

Very Hollywoodish. Very Hollywood. Safe.

[Andy Claussen]

All right, well, I got. I got one more for you here. 1.5. The number is 1.5. Higher, lower. And that is fractures to Jake Paul's jawline. The next boxing match he takes, will his jaw withstand one and a half or more fractures?

[Jeremy Odom]

Oh, man, that's a heck of a line.

[Andy Claussen]

Because he had two this time.

[Jeremy Odom]

Two this time.

[Andy Claussen]

Broke it twice in that one punch.

[Jeremy Odom]

Oh, I. I'm. I'm gonna take the over person over.

[Andy Claussen]

So you're saying at least two.

[Jeremy Odom]

I think that there's a precedent now.

[Andy Claussen]

So I. I'm probably gonna go with the under.

[Jeremy Odom]

Okay.

[Andy Claussen]

Because I don't think he's gonna box anybody under 45 years old now. I think he's gonna go right back to Mike Pass Me like, hey, what about that rematch, Mike, Iron Mike, you know, Come on now.

[Jeremy Odom]

Somebody shorter, somebody older.

[Andy Claussen]

Yeah, he's a retired UFC fighter that's like 48 years old. It's just been kicking it on the couch. Jake Paul's gonna, his team will call him. Hey, we got, we got something cooking here. And I. And that whoever this guy is probably maybe one of the basketball players for Baylor.

[Jeremy Odom]

You know what's sad is I'm still gonna watch.

[Andy Claussen]

Yeah. Oh, I know. I'm still gonna watch the Friday on Netflix. Oh, and I'm gonna see the little notification. Okay, let's see what happens. So I, I think I'm gonna go under because I think he's gonna, he's gonna fight somebody that not going to punch him that hard because don't think he liked that.

[Jeremy Odom]

He did not like that at all. The look on his face when he dropped to the mat. Incredible.

[Andy Claussen]

Oh, and, and he, he plays the villain so well. The way he was mocking his opponent while just getting the snot. He couldn't even stay on his feet. He couldn't even. It was, it was amazing. And he still was sticking his tongue out and, you know, bobbing his head and stuff.

[Jeremy Odom]

He's a showman.

[Andy Claussen]

And then that sells tickets and I'm going to stand by it. I don't think he wants his jaw broken over one and a half times his next bout.

[Jeremy Odom]

He learned his lesson.

[Andy Claussen]

That's why we love these predictive markets.

[Jeremy Odom]

My favorite thing about Shipt since I signed up for target circle360 no price markups when I order same day delivery from tons of local stor only a handful of alcohol retailers and items don't count. I won't lie, I've had too much fun being like markups on groceries, not in my fridge. Markups on pet food not for my dog. Markups on tools, electronics, home goods, meds, not in my house. Anyway, it's awesome. Order [e-mail] 360trees apply.
