Summary

Must-Have Merkins, Milk Meltdowns & Merry Mayhem

Scheana and Kiki close out 2025 with equal parts heartbreak and humor, unpacking the year’s biggest pop culture moments — from Kim Kardashian’s merkins and Katy Perry’s space performance to the Coldplay kiss-cam couple, KPop Demon Hunters’ domination, and the tragic events occurring this week with the mass shootings at the Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration and Brown University, along with the heartbreaking loss of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle.

They also tackle lighter chaos: missing nails, the holiday traditions they’re breaking this year, Nick Viall’s plane-seat fiasco, and whether lying about Santa will inevitably mess up your kid. Scheana opens up about one of her toughest parenting moments yet before the duo dives into the eeriness of kids having paranormal experiences “before the veil lifts.”

A heartfelt, hilarious, and perfectly chaotic wrap-up to an unforgettable year.
