Hardly Working

• $9 Million Comics and AMC's Popcorn Passes w/ Special Guests Shawn and Ryan Sweeney! | HWP 910

  This week on Hardly Working Podcast, SP and Kellie kick off the holiday season with two very special guests — Kellie’s brothers, Shawn and Ryan!It’s a full sibling takeover episode, which means absolute chaos, zero filter, and way too much laughing.We start with the big story that split the room immediately:🎥 AMC’s New “Popcorn Pass”For $30 a year you get half-off popcorn and soda.Is it worth it?Kellie says no.Ryan says maybe.Shawn says he wants nachos.SP is just happy to be invited to the movies.Then we jump into some record-breaking collectible news:💥 A New World Record for a Comic BookA first-edition Superman comic from 1939 just sold for…$9.1 MILLION.That makes it the most expensive comic ever sold.(For comparison, Action Comics #1 from 1938 — the first appearance of Superman — sold for $6 million.)The siblings spend a shocking amount of time deciding which one of them would make the worst superhero.From there, we go from superpowers to super nostalgia:🕹️ Remember Burt Meyer?Maybe not his name — but definitely his work.This week the toy and game creator passed away, leaving behind an iconic childhood résumé:• Lite-Brite• Gooey Louie• Mouse Trap• Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots• Catch Phrase (SP’s personal favorite — and the siblings immediately start arguing over who cheats the most.)And in more wholesome news:🎨 John Oliver Raises Over $1 Million for Public TVAfter Bob Ross paintings sold for $600K a few weeks ago, John Oliver hosted “John Oliver’s Stuff” — selling a single Ross painting (“Cabin at Sunset”) for $1,044,000 to support public broadcasting.Imagine spending a million dollars and not even getting a “happy little tree” in the deal.Finally… it wouldn’t be a family episode without the most sibling-specific segment ever:🔥 UNPOPULAR OPINIONS (SIBLING EDITION)Specifically curated for SP, Kellie, Shawn & Ryan:The oldest sibling is not the “natural leader,” they’re just tired.Middle children actually have the best personalities — because they HAD to.Youngest siblings aren’t “spoiled,” they’re strategic.Siblings absolutely DO keep score… even when they swear they don’t.You can love your siblings and still hide your best snacks from them.Group texts with siblings are elite — unless one of them sends 40 voice notes.Every family has one sibling who thinks they’re the funny one... and one who actually IS.Borrowing clothes without asking is not theft — it’s tradition.At least one sibling will retell childhood stories completely wrong on purpose.There is ALWAYS a “parent favorite,” and everyone knows who it is.It’s a warm, chaotic, holiday-season sibling episode — and we had way too much fun making it.Stay connected with us:Instagram: @itshardlyworking, @seanpatrickdj, @kellie.mcgillicuddyTikTok: @itshardlyworking, @seanpatrickdj, @kelliemcgillicuddySpotify: https://rb.gy/sgqahApple Podcasts: https://rb.gy/u2xi4YouTube: https://rb.gy/3yi5kEmail: [email protected] us a text

• Funko Trouble, Balls Out Bowling and Goodbye to the Penny | HWP 908

  It’s the season of gratitude (and chaos), and SP and Kellie are giving thanks… in true Hardly Working fashion. 🦃 From kitchen slang gone wild to nude bowling in Pittsburgh, this episode has everything you didn’t know you needed.SP tests Kellie on a round of “Kitchen Terms” — a game that proves ordering breakfast in diner slang should be an Olympic event:☕ “Blonde with sand” = coffee with cream and sugar🍳 “Wreck ’em” = scrambled eggs🌭 “Paint a bow-wow red” = hot dog with ketchup🥤 And “M.D.” = Dr. Pepper (because “Do you want a Sprite?” No, gimme an M.D.”)In this week’s stories:⭐ Chadwick Boseman is finally getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.💸 Funko might be done-zo by next year — the toy empire is on the brink.🎨 Bob Ross saves PBS from funding cuts, as three of his paintings sell for $600,000 to support public broadcasting.🪙 Farewell, penny. The U.S. just pressed its last one, saving taxpayers $56 million a year — but say goodbye to those souvenir coin machines.🎳 And of course… “Balls Out Bowling” is back in Pittsburgh. Yep, an all-nude, body-positive bowling night for adults where you’re encouraged to bring a towel, not pants.Questions this week explore gratitude and modern nonsense:💭 What’s a luxury that’s only impressive to people who don’t have it?🧗 What are you glad you tried once but will never do again?📱 What’s the biggest “we all just accepted this nonsense” thing in modern life?🔥 Unpopular Opinions🦃 If turkey’s so great, why do we only eat it once or twice a year?🚗 Special parking spots have gotten out of hand.🧠 Emotional intelligence > IQ — and it’s still underrated.🪙 The worst part of losing pennies is losing the souvenir machines.🧁 Cupcakes are an ineffectual, dissatisfying dessert.🥨 The rye chips in Chex Mix? Overrated.Stay connected with us:Instagram: @itshardlyworking, @seanpatrickdj, @kellie.mcgillicuddyTikTok: @itshardlyworking, @seanpatrickdj, @kelliemcgillicuddySpotify: https://rb.gy/sgqahApple Podcasts: https://rb.gy/u2xi4YouTube: https://rb.gy/3yi5kEmail: [email protected] us a text
