Hardly Working
Stranger Things, Zootopia 2 & Harry Potter's Most Awkward Moment | HWP 911
This week on Hardly Working Podcast, SP and Kellie are back with a cozy, chaotic, post-Thanksgiving breakdown — and we’re starting with a simple, universal truth:
Some foods look incredible… until you eat them.
Yep. We’re talking about the biggest food disappointments of all time — the ones that tricked us with their golden crusts, perfect grill marks, and Instagram lighting, only to betray us on the first bite.
Then we jump into a Harry Potter deep dive:
What were the most awkward or uncomfortable moments in the movies?
You guys submitted your top contenders, and honestly… you nailed it.
Including:
- Harry’s bath scene with Moaning Myrtle (WHY was this approved?)
- Ginny tying Harry’s shoelaces like a Victorian caretaker
- Voldemort’s limp-noodle hug for Draco
- Ron just… inserting himself between Harry and Ginny like a confused camp counselor
We also crack open this week’s That Happened Today?! — December 5 Edition, featuring:
🛳️ The Ghost Ship Mary Celeste — the original unsolved mystery
🍔 The Mariah Carey x McDonald’s Collab — the most diva holiday promo ever
☃️ Frosty the Snowman’s first appearance

✈️ Flight 19 vanishes in the Bermuda Triangle
😷 The Great Smog of London
🪂 A man survives a 10,000-foot fall WITHOUT a parachute

Then in Stories, the week gets even more unhinged:
- Oxford’s Word of the Year: “Rage-bait” (the most accurate term of 2025)
- Zootopia 2 dominates Thanksgiving box office
- Wicked: For Good pulls in another $92M
- Stranger Things 5 sets Netflix records with 59.6 million views
- The series finale will be 2 hours and 5 minutes, playing in AMC theaters
- Martha Stewart replaces Sydney Sweeney in the controversial American Eagle denim campaign

It’s a wild week, and yes — SP gives a strong speech about the foldable iPhone that nobody asked for.
