Hardly Working

and why nothing feels safe anymore.
In Harry Potter news, **John Lithgow has reportedly been told to walk away from his role in the new Harry Potterseries — and yes, we have thoughts.
Over in Disney world, **Josh D'Amaro has officially been tapped as the next CEO of Disney, setting the stage for a massive shift in the future of theme parks, movies, and franchises.
And because nostalgia never dies: a brand-new Air Bud movie has been announced. We’re asking the important questions — how many rules are left to break, and what sport is the dog playing this time?
To get ready for the big game, we kick off Super Bowl trivia to warm everyone up ahead of this year’s showdown — consider this your pre-party brain workout.
Plus, Unpopular Opinions that might ruin dinner conversations:
Eating in the bathtub should be illegal (emotionally, at least)
Dogs age in human years, not dog years
The idea that real love should feel “easy” might actually be wrong

This week on Hardly Working, the news refused to wait until we finished recording — so naturally, everything broke immediately after.
We’re breaking down the fallout from TikTok’s new American ownership and why it’s already causing major problems, plus the shocking Oscar snub no one saw coming: “Wicked: For Good” received ZERO nominations at the 2026 Oscars.
Speaking of awards, Taylor Swift is officially making history yet again — this time as the youngest woman ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame at just 36, becoming the second-youngest inductee of all time. Records? Broken. Again.
In rare good-news energy, the giant panda is no longer endangered after a decade of population growth. We’ll take the win.
Harry Potter fans might want to sit down, because Ralph Fiennes may have accidentally spoiled the casting of the new Voldemort, casually suggesting Cillian Murphy might already be locked in.
Meanwhile, it’s another rough week for food and retail:
Fatburger’s parent company files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
Amazon shuts down multiple Amazon Fresh and Go stores, pivoting back toward Whole Foods
McDonald’s enters its Hot Honey era, rolling out four brand-new menu items (including a Hot Honey Snack Wrap 👀)
And for pure millennial joy, nostalgia is back on the menu with a new horror-comedy in the works:
Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein — yes, that’s real, and yes, we’re excited.
Plus, Unpopular Opinions that will absolutely cause discourse:
People who only like music from their era don’t like music — they like memories
The honeymoon phase shouldn’t end if you actually like your partner
Mugshots shouldn’t be public until conviction
Cable TV might have been better than streaming
Pop culture whiplash, food news overload, and elder millennial commentary — all in one episode.

Welcome back to Hardly Working, the show about life, love, and labor — hosted by the couple that works, plays, and somehow keeps topping themselves.
This week, SP takes Vegas international with a 1,500-person DJ set at KAOS Las Vegas, while Kellie kicks off BMBL’s 2026 in a big way — starting with her first event of the year at NBC, followed by a brand-new custom trading card activation at Dodger Stadium.
In pop culture news, it’s a massive anniversary week:
The Harry Potter movies turn 25, with global celebrations planned — butterbeer trucks, Back to Hogwarts events, and theatrical screenings featuring never-before-seen footage.
High School Musical somehow turns 20 years old, forcing millennials everywhere to confront time itself.
We also break down the still-unfolding Warner Bros. situation as Netflix reportedly ups its offer to $83 billion in cash, raising some uncomfortable questions about streaming money, residuals, and what “there’s no money” really means.
Plus, Unpopular Opinions that will absolutely start fights:
Being “easy to work with” beats being talented
Thighs are the worst part of the chicken
Watching movies at home is boring
Steak is wildly overrated
And success doesn’t expire at 30 (please stop acting like it does)
It’s pop culture, industry chaos, and elder-millennial coping all rolled into one.

This week, SP and Kellie ask the most important question of all: what’s the most embarassing thing you’ve ever consumed because you were hungry? From unhinged late-night meals to decisions fueled entirely by desperation, this one gets delicious.
How did an 44 minute early showing of Bridgerton Season 4 turn into a 5 hour disaster? It was so bad that Netflix had to apologize via email!
In That Happened Today?!, we rewind to January 16 and talk about:
The Blair Witch Project changing horror (and marketing) forever
Ride Along becoming a surprise box office hit
The chaotic debut of The Jerry Springer Show
Iconic birthdays including Aaliyah and Kate Moss
We also say goodbye to composer Guy Moon, the musical genius behind My Shiny Teeth and Me and Icky Vicky — a massive loss for TV music nostalgia.
Plus in the news:
Taco Bell launches a new Luxe Value Menu in an expensive world
California forces delivery apps to issue full refunds when orders are wrong
Zoë Saldaña officially becomes the highest-grossing actor of all time
Casting updates, podcast wins, and Amy Poehler making history at the Golden Globes
And of course, we wrap it all up with Unpopular Opinions that will start arguments — including cats, sleep supremacy, and why you shouldn’t buy a ring before the proposal.

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.
