This week, SP and Kellie recap a wild start to the year: SP DJs New Year’s Eve at Universal Studios Hollywood… in the pouring rain, Kellie hits the red carpet for Netflix’s People We Met on Vacation, and somehow things only get more unhinged from there.

We break down everything that happened today in history, from Steve Jobs unveiling the iPhone to the rise of Malcolm in the Middle, Bob’s Burgers, and Shark Tank. Then we spiral into knighted celebrities, Idris Elba’s Bond legacy, and why Callum Turner might be our next 007 (with Dua Lipa potentially along for the ride).

Plus:

• The most disturbing list the U.S. government never meant us to read
• Why new TV shows are dying and comfort shows are winning
• The most anticipated TV shows of 2026
• Cinemark’s “bring your own bucket” popcorn chaos
• Zootopia 2 breaking Disney records
• And a heated debate over bananas… with mustard

All that, plus a fresh batch of unpopular opinions that may or may not ruin dinner conversations forever.

Day 10 — the finale of Hardly Holidays 2025.
We made it. Barely. 🥂

To close out 10 episodes in 10 days, SP and Kellie go all in with their Top-Nots — a countdown of the Top 10 BEST and Bottom 10 WORST things that happened in their lives this year.

The wins, the messes, the surprises, the regrets, the moments that changed everything, and the ones they’d happily erase if given the chance. It’s honest, reflective, funny, and a little unhinged — exactly how this year felt.

Whether 2025 was the best year of your life, the hardest, or something confusing in between, this episode is about closing the chapter together and heading into the new year with clarity, gratitude, and a little less baggage.

Thanks for spending Hardly Holidays with us — we couldn’t do this without you. 💛

Day 9 of Hardly Holidays is all about celebration.

SP and Kellie dedicate the entire episode to the Hardly Working Family by building their metaphorical Accomplishment Cake — a layered celebration made up of the wins, growth, healing, and survival moments YOU experienced in 2025.

From getting debt-free, promotions, weight loss, sobriety, and degrees… to becoming parents, healing trauma, setting boundaries, surviving hard seasons, and simply staying — this episode honors every kind of progress, not just the loud ones.

If you need a reminder that you actually did a lot this year — even if it didn’t feel like it — this one’s for you.

Day 7 of Hardly Holidays takes a more reflective turn.

Today, SP and Kellie pause the chaos and look back at the artists, icons, and cultural figures who passed away in 2025— people whose work shaped movies, music, television, sports, science, and pop culture as we know it.

We’re honoring the lives and legacies of:

• Val Kilmer — from Top Gun to Tombstone to his haunting final chapter in Val
• Robert Redford — Hollywood legend, filmmaker, and founder of Sundance
• Michelle Trachtenberg — childhood icon to cult-TV favorite
• Diane Keaton — Oscar winner and accidental fashion revolutionary
• Ozzy Osbourne — heavy metal pioneer and reality-TV chaos agent
• Gene Hackman — one of the most commanding actors of his generation
• Jane Goodall — a woman who rewrote what we know about humanity itself
• Hulk Hogan — the face of wrestling’s global explosion
• George Foreman — heavyweight champion turned cultural phenomenon
• Anthony Geary — daytime TV royalty whose impact spanned decades

We share not just what they were known for — but the unexpected facts, strange details, and human moments that made them unforgettable.

It’s a quieter episode, but an important one.
A reminder that while people leave us, what they gave the world doesn’t.

On Day 5 of Hardly Holidays, SP and Kellie’s livers remain fully committed to the bit as they find out whether another holiday-inspired shot is in their future. (Spoiler: odds are never in SP’s favor.)

Today’s challenge?
 A brutal round of “Would You Rather” scenarios designed specifically for New Year’s resolutions.

We’re talking impossible choices, painful trade-offs, and decisions that force you to ask:
 What would I actually be willing to give up in 2026… and what am I absolutely not letting go of?

Play along at home, argue with us in your head (or out loud), and see where your priorities really land as we stumble our way toward the new year.

Day 4 of Hardly Holidays is a full-blown internet time capsule.

Today, SP and Kellie rewind the clock and revisit the most unhinged, unforgettable, and impossible-to-escape viral moments of 2025. The ones that took over group chats, dominated timelines, and made us all ask, “How did this even happen?”

We’re talking about:

• The Coldplay Kiss Cam Couple that launched a thousand think pieces
• Katy Perry going to space (yes… that happened)
• The absolute Labubu domination of the internet
• The Louvre Heist that felt like a movie plot
• The bizarre rise of The 67 Trend
• And plenty more moments that defined the chaos of 2025

It’s nostalgic. It’s ridiculous. It’s proof that the internet remains undefeated.

If you forgot how wild this year actually was, this episode will gently (or aggressively) remind you.

The holiday games continue, and today we’re getting serious about toys.

On Day 3 of Hardly Holidays, SP and Kellie dive into the 10 official Toy Hall of Fame nominees for 2025 and argue (passionately) over which ones actually deserve a coveted spot in the Hall.

From Rubik’s Cubes and Scooters to Slime, Connect Four, and more, we break down the toys that shaped childhoods, sparked creativity, and survived generations of living-room chaos.

Spoiler alert:
Our picks didn’t make it… and yes, we’re still processing that.

Join us as we debate, reminisce, and ultimately reveal which three toys officially made it into the Toy Hall of Fame this year — and whether we agree with the decision.
