We’re closing out 2025 the only way we know how—by saying the quiet parts out loud. In our final Hot Takes episode of the year, we reflect on the moments, opinions, and cultural conversations that had us side-eyeing, cheering, and occasionally changing our minds. From lighthearted pop-culture commentary to the takes we’ve been sitting on all year, this episode is equal parts wrap-up and release. No resolutions yet, no rewrites allowed—just one last honest conversation before we close the chapter on 2025. Grab your drink of choice, get comfy, and let’s take back Sunday one last time this year.
