BEHIND THE STATS: WHAT WE LEARNED FROM OUR WORST EPISODES & WORST BUYS OF 2025

Every year Spotify Wrapped tells us what we did right… so this week, we’re sharing everything that went hilariously wrong. In this anti-Wrapped recap, Priscilla and Josh look back at their worst performing podcast episodes of 2025 and unpack the surprisingly relatable reasons behind the dip—holiday chaos, busy parent schedules, personal finance fatigue, and titles that didn’t quite land. With their usual honesty and humor, they break down the stories behind each episode and what they learned about being consistent, following audience interest, and creating content during real-life family seasons.

Then the conversation turns to something every parent understands: regretful purchases. From the Peloton that never stood a chance (turns out Priscilla hates cycling), to Costco turkey that expires faster than toddlers can eat it, to toys that vanish into the abyss two days after leaving the store—this episode is a lighthearted confession session on money mistakes, parenting realities, and figuring out what’s actually worth it during the early-kid years.

If you love honest reflections, behind-the-scenes podcast talk, and the comfort of knowing other parents also waste money on snacks their kids refuse to eat… you’ll feel right at home. Tune in for laughs, lessons, and a fun wrap-up of everything that didn’t go according to plan in 2025.
