   Tom & Roman’s Happy New Year!

   To see out 2025 in true You About? style, the boys host the very first You About? Awards, celebrating (and questioning) some of the most memorable and ridiculous moments from the past year. This week’s Big Question comes courtesy of Emma, and it turns out to be a special one. Tom and Roman take a moment to reflect on their friendship and what they value most about each other. There’s also time for some genuine reflection as the boys look back on what they’re proud of from 2025, what they’ve learned along the way, and what they’re more than happy to leave behind as the year comes to a close. And, because it wouldn’t feel right without it, Tom and Roman officially count down to 2026 together! Thanks for being part of You About? in 2025.
