Ep 26. Ancient New Years Resolutions and Good Bye to Red Dye?
Get ready to Rinse off the Quitter’s Day Soap! In today’s episode, Gordy and Dr. Zed dive into the GTH Big Three Bangers of New Year’s resolutions—practical tips to start your year right. Then, hop in the GTH Time Machine as we journey back 4,000 years to explore the first New Year’s resolutions in Babylon, where farmers promised Marduk (a god with a flair for cosmic balance) they’d return borrowed oxen—and kings cried on cue.
We’ll also meet Janus, Rome’s two-faced god of beginnings, who inspired reflective resolutions (and maybe a little political drama). Finally, we shine a Science Spotlight on the FDA’s potential ban of Red Dye No. 3 before wrapping it all up with a Fastfire Questions showdown, featuring a debate on entertainment vs. knowledge in a giant terrarium. Plus: BABY EVACUATION APRONS.
