(7:05am) Robby Starbuck, among others, is lighting up businesses about their DEI nonsense. We're seeing a shift in trends as companies back off of DEI. That includes more bad news for Bud Light as customers continue to abandon their product. Fortune magazine reports they've now lost their top ranking for draft beer sales in 2024 as Michelob Ultra has moved into the #1 slot.

(7:20am) We discuss the results of a new Yougov survey on New Year's resolutions for 2025. Are Americans not as interested in resolutions? The majority of Americans aren’t making New Year’s resolutions. 31% of Americans will be making New Year’s resolutions or setting goals for 2025. The majority of them (58%) of adults under 30 will be making resolutions. Only 24% of older Americans will be doing so. Adults 65 and older are especially unlikely to make resolutions: Just 14% plan to do so. Story here: https://today.yougov.com/society/articles/51144-what-are-americans-new-years-resolutions-for-2025
