We talk about Scott’s UnResolutions (what? 46 5K Runs isn’t enough for you people?); why Waffle House is a real need, and not just the best food ever; IKEA wants frame DaVinci; Taylor Swift has a great idea for selling tickets, except it doesn’t work at all. All this, made-up words, a listener question and more as we get ready for 2018!
