    It's the What It's About new year's episode! And we're releasing it in January! This week, Claire and Kyle look at things that were, things that are, and some things that have not yet come to pass. We discuss new years resolutions, top movies and music from 2021, the ever burning question of "are we idiots", and how many people could fit in a whale vagina. All in all, a pretty typical WIA episode I'd say. Is this thing still on?
