To close out the year, we figured it would be the perfect time to talk In/Out lists. From restaurants to style to ~vibes~, Barrett and Will go through everything they consider to be "In" and "Out" as we look toward 2026.

A Reminder: We have no video for this week's episode as we recorded over the holidays, so please enjoy anywhere you get your audio.
