And gosh, I don't want to give you notes right off the top, but what a de-escalation of excitement when you go from veterinary pathologist to Domino's pizza delivery driver. But he was so interesting. Okay, can I interest you in this fact? interesting really okay can i can i interest you in this fact once every couple months people come to the door with their shirt on but nothing else really yeah different groups of people like it's

not always the same you know flasher and they don't acknowledge it it's not because like his theory was that they're just too high and they're like they forget they're not wearing pants, but they don't even like once they've had the transaction, they're not like, oh, my God, what have I done? You know, again, that's like a stress dream for me. But you always realize halfway through that you don't have the pants on. you you don't have the pants on but i think it's just where flashers and other kinds of you know people with strange you know perversions have gone to to get their kicks totally there was that one episode of high maintenance where a character was doing that over and over again just as like uh i think it was katherine cohen but don't quote me on that who played it but she would just like hang an errant tit out to make people look at like in a convenience store like whenever someone was delivering something to her house and it was clearly a thing that she just like loved doing

just like a fun little little prank that she enjoyed and like someone a regular delivery person opened the door and saw her breast out and was just like come on like he's seen it all the time he's just sick of having to deal with it yeah of this please i got a lot of tables man how are you doing daniel it's great to see i couldn't even tell that lie yeah you it's good to see you yeah how are you thanks i'm good it's good to be here uh i've been hanging out in Los Angeles for the last couple of weeks and will continue for the next couple of weeks. Just like a month trip back to my old stomping ground. And it's a complete betrayal of the promise of what

L.A. is supposed to be. It's been really gloomy and cold. It's very unfortunate. Well, it's going to turn up this weekend, though. At least there's that. Yeah. Is it? It's going to be warm? I just checked that day's weather report. I like to be surprised, and I have been, by how shitty the weather is. Yeah, it's 74 Friday, 80 Saturday, and then like high 70s next week. All right. We're getting back to it, regressing to the meat. All right. Well, Daniel, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, a couple of the things that we're talking about.

The Jack Smith merch is here. We are lionizing Jack Smith as a culture. There's T-shirts. It's mainly T-shirts at this point, but like T-shirts with his picture looking like he's like an mma fighter or something so we're just gonna look at the the latest idol of the neo libs to of like since muller i think he's a little bit more he's gonna satisfy a little bit more than muller in terms of like who he actually is so we'll talk about him we'll talk about him. We'll talk about a TikToker who is like kind of pulling a George Bluth, but sad. Yeah. Where he's like teaching lessons to people.

But the lesson is like, I'm a narcissist. And fuck you and your feelings. Fuck you. Yeah. We might talk about Netflix finally opening a Netflix themed restaurant. What? We've been calling for it for years. Oh, yeah.

And another thing we've been calling for for years, a comedy fantasy camp with Jay Leno and Adam Carolla. Got my tickets. You signed up, Jack? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the description says, comedy fans, aspiring stand-up comedians, and television writers take note.

So, Daniel, I'm eager to hear about like which week you're going to as a television writer thank you actually i'm teaching an entire uh master class about i don't want to give it away completely but it's about how it's time to cancel cancel culture thank you uh i just think it's time yes i love that i love that they threw television writers television writers uh you're gonna want to come hang out with adam carolla and jay leno well we'll talk about all that plenty more but first daniel o'brien uh what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are unkillable plants i've recently moved to a new apartment in my home in jersey and it's a really nice space and i want to make it look nice and because i've been living in a different i've been bouncing around for a while and i've

been living in like a furnished house with somebody else's stuff for the last couple years so now i have like my the apartment that i want to be my home for the foreseeable future and i'm really committed to making it look nice and not shitty and i'm taking notes from like other people's houses that i like a whole lot and one of the things that makes me feel really warm uh and positive when i'm in someone's house just like a whole lot of plants i've killed every plant i've ever had yeah in my life i don't just like a reverse et you walk into the room and they crumble away absolutely and so i i don't want to get fake plants because that defeats the purpose for me and so i was just like tooling around what are the the hardest plants to kill and i will

either have nice plants or i'll kill these too and that's kind of impressive in its own yeah yeah is it are we looking at cacti what what what's the internet's advice on the hardiest plant first a lot of people say snake plants uh yeah i was gonna say snake plant that's hard number one on the list is something called go hard cast iron plant which like by name alone excites me that's i feel like that's what i should be working with there are no leaves on it it just looks like a dead shrub but it's like the bristlecone pine have you ever seen those no bristlecone pine are the oldest living things on the planet earth and like they they've been around there's oh yeah medusa up in like bishop in california i've seen some of them in person and they look dead

like the deadest plant you've ever seen yeah it looks like to the point where you're like that can't be growing but they're they're like alive on the inside they're truly like beautiful things but they look like beautiful like sculptures they don't look like living plants right yeah they're those little grabby monsters that ursula creates in little mermaid yeah little grabby monsters that she creates did you see the uh live action remake by the way i did it was so bad what did you like it no i didn't see it okay i'm not surprised by that here's one of the the the strange ways that the sick disease of nostalgia works on people is i get back to la where i used to live for a long time and the first thing i did was like what am i gonna

what am i gonna do what did i used to do here and i went to a movie theater by myself to watch little mermaid because that was a thing i just love going to the movies and the westwood the ipic in westwood is so comfortable and wonderful. They got the reclining chairs. You get food delivered right to your chair. And it was like less than 12 hours into my time in Los Angeles and I was like, I'm going to see Little Mermaid at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. It doesn't look good. I bet it's not good.

And I was right. It's not good. I'm going to hate this. Yeah. That's where I saw the whole this whole movement kick off. That's where I saw the Jungle Book remake for some reason that theater by the way feels the least like a movie theater of any movie theater i've ever been it like it just i pick in general that the one in brentwood i don't know if i i've been to other i picks but that one in particular feels like you're just in someone's big living room like

i've been to movie theaters that have the nice reclining chairs and like the food that gets delivered and like usually it doesn't fuck with me but like that one in particular i don't know if like they have low ceilings or something but it just it doesn't feel like a movie theater to me right like in like yeah ikea lamps and stuff like on the ground it's like yeah that's like the walkway i was gonna say dan like there's like these i saw there's like these businesses that are for people who are like, I can't keep a fucking plant alive if my life depended on it. And it's basically now ushered in a business where like they've created the kinds of pots where it's like,

dude, just keep the water level on the side to this. Are you talking about a easy plant? I mean, I'm not trying to give any promo. Okay. But yeah, they don't pay us. So we will, we will not give them promo but have you oh wait have you killed

an easy well i mean all that's saying you've killed one of them no not yet but that like that came up on my head first stupid moron instagram and algorithm feed right right you've done enough googling on this that like we think you will be interested in this in this foolproof plant situation unkillable yeah the the science is you don't even put water we're not gonna let you put Like we think you will be interested in this, in this foolproof plant situation. Yeah. The, the, the science is you don't even put water. We're not going to let you put water on the plant itself. You put the water in a little jar and we distribute it as we see fit. Yeah.

It's like a trust for your water. And the little mermaid, uh, just going back to that. Sorry. Is your problem with it? What was one of the problems with the casting? Sorry. Is your problem with it? Was one of the problems with the casting, the fact that the lead characters is a crab like an actual crab without the ability to emote? Or is it your whole anti cancel culture, you know, that thing and your issue with the casting? It's so it's it's crazy that you found the exact right thing that it was specifically the crab. Have people been talking about the crab? I have been talking about the crab since they talked about the concept of doing this as a live action thing.

I've been like, how the fuck are you going to make it? Because that was my problem with the Lion King one was that the animals can't emote. So it's like a diminished version of every cartoon that has animals in it. Correct. There was so much chatter ahead of this movie about how off-putting flounder looked and it's and it's true flounder looks looks weird he looks too much like a fish to be in a movie for children uh and truly not enough chatter about how bizarre sebastian the crab looked it's very unpleasant he can't emote. It's a crab that looks like a crab with two cartoon Google eyes on top of it.

Yeah. And he's got two fucking songs. He's in so much of this movie. And it's really... Can he even smile with his little crab mouth or no? No. So what would you do for raised eyebrows? Do the little googly eyes on top get bigger or they just kind of like

wake is it truly like this is what we get when you look at it this is what we get yeah what you're saying is that's it so bad this gives me such joy to hear you say that that was a major problem with the movie fucking crap man fucking crap what is something daniel that you think is overrated What is something, Daniel, that you think is overrated? This will continue the thread of me being back in Los Angeles. Billboards. I, again, famously lived here for 11 years. And there are so many billboards in Los Angeles.

And they just sort of become part of the background, part of the skyline. And I went from there to New York, which also has a lot of billboards, and then New York to New Jersey, where I live has very few billboards I live on the beach there's really nothing and when I when you come to LA after being away for a while it's really jarring just how many billboards there are everywhere if if you were an alien landing here you would think it was we were all just completely insane because where I'm at now Santa Monica West LA there's just everywhere you look, giant billboards for the bear on FX or Hulu. It's not an FX advertisement. I think both actually.

Okay, good. And it's like on buses. And there's this thing that happens in LA where there's always constant construction on everything. And so they board things up with these giant wooden walls. And then they put billboards on those walls. So you're just seeing the same images from the bear over and over again, everywhere you look. I don't know who any of this is for.

It's not the hottest take in the world to say that L.A. has too many industry billboards. But you forget about it when you're away for so long. And it's so jarring. Yeah, especially when award season rolls around and everything's like, for your consideration. And it's like, you're talking to like a half percent of the population. Yeah. And it's also award season is like, the for your consideration campaigns are always for shows

that are not on currently. It's like, it's, you know, July will roll around and they'll be like, remember White Lotus? Yeah. Yeah, I do. OK, thank you. I will say I feel a little. So I used to drive from the west side to our Hollywood studio to record this show. And it and a big portion of my drive was Sunset, which is the most like just billboard ridden stretch of road that I think possibly in the Western world. Like there's so many billboards, but they put a ton of effort into like the billboards and the

designs. And I feel like I was more up on like what was happening in pop culture. Like I wouldn't be surprised when someone was like, oh shit, have you seen like like the this is the last of us or you know like the the mashup between this is us and the last of us i would i would know about that like two months before it came out you know and now i just feel blindsided by popular culture so i'll say billboards in theory very dumb but they were helpful to me because i'm so unplugged from a lot of popular that you just need a big just need a big square sign to be like hey hey hey tell me what to think oh okay okay i will say if you're gonna do it if if you're going to just have a physical sign

that you put in front of people's faces the jersey shore where it sounds like you're living now that when they have those dragon behind planes i feel like that's that's a good time yeah that's fun yeah that's fun and like it's the plane like it's like one of those old-fashioned planes that looks like it's barely staying up there yeah yeah i like or am i just remembering the 1920s when i was a child no you're correct it's still those those old wright Brothers planes carrying billboards for live music and $5 beers. And there's a little bit of smoke coming out. I do like my advertisements to have a little slight taste of danger.

Like this could go wrong. Exactly. Someone's taking their lives into their hands. Someone's flying an original Leonardo da Vinci ornithon. Someone's flying an original Leonardo da Vinci ornithon. To tell me that beer is still $4 in Seattle City? Yeah, Jesus. What is something that you think is underrated?

All right, ready? Yes. Working. I wouldn't be doing my job right now if I didn't take this and every opportunity to mention the ongoing Writers' Strike. I'm a proud member of the Writers Guild of America, and we have been on strike since the beginning of May because we want a fair contract. And the studios refuse to even sit down with us and discuss it, let alone give us what we're asking for. It's very frustrating. gave us what we're asking for it's very frustrating i i a lot of people when this started in in my life who are like sympathetic to this cause and everything they're like you'll probably enjoy a little vacation it's not a vacation i really like working uh and i i writing specifically is the

thing that i'm very good at it and i just want to do it and the studios won't let me and it's maddening who had that take that was like, I think the strike was because. Yeah, Zaslav's like. So we're big fans of Zaslav on this show, Daniel. We call him the Zas. And his take was that he was like, the strike's going to end because of a love of working. People love to work. And we're just, we'll welcome them back with open arms.

And we're just we will welcome them back with open arms. So he's using the fact that you are a creative machine against you, which is so, so devious and shitty. How much of it do you think? You know, I've seen that take of like how there's like a big there's that big obscure thing about like Netflix numbers or streaming numbers and how that's that could affect things. Do you think that's playing a huge part or it's just general? Obviously, there's the overarching theme of greed on behalf of the networks and streamers. But like, do you do I've seen that take going around Twitter. I was curious if you had any thoughts on that. I don't have any extra insight into this than anyone else who doesn't, you know, read Twitter and and Variety and Hollywood Reporter and all the other trades and everything. But that does make a whole lot of sense because that's something that the streamers won't even

they don't seem to want to budge on the data data transparency yeah and it makes a whole lot of sense because that number could either be very very large and they don't want us to know that because then it would reveal just how much money we should be getting in residuals or which seems slightly more likely that money could be there the number could be very very low which they don't want wall street right and investors to know about it's all anyone who who has spent any time in in tech or silicon valley startups like it's it all sounds very familiar to every single Silicon Valley startup that eventually burst because they go big and they go fast and they invest, invest, invest, and they talk about growth, growth, growth, and have very little transparency.

And then when eventually they have to reveal their numbers, everything falls apart because they don't. They inflated their own importance and impact yeah it sounds it sounds familiar to also the ones that succeed like Facebook Facebook was did that and then like this year

I read somewhere that like Facebook's having like an amazing year like at the stock market like at the stock market where all the I'm going to stock market honey just throw stocks back market where we're all the i'm going to go together and just throw stocks back and forth yeah like facebook's stock is like doing well or they're i don't know i'm just like how how are we still here after meta after the pivot to video bullshit oh yeah and then i the listener was saying that like the the twitter video views it's i think it's

like two to three seconds is what triggers a view yeah really we're right back where we started where people are like you gotta see the fucking numbers we're doing here folks give us your ad dollars wait what it's all it's all an illusion fuck yeah let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.

All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120.

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean i mean the boone county rebels will stay the boone county rebels with the image it's right here in black and white and prints a lion an individual that came to the school saying that god sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch is a leader you choose hills that you want to die on why would we want

to be the losing team that just i just take all the other stuff out of it. On segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. And the Jack Smith merch is here. The liberals are really trying to top conservatives when it comes to churning out cringy merchandise i don't think they ever will but the the robert muller craze was like i still have my robert muller action figures in box dead stock and the price just is not budging man oh yeah jack here pull the pull the cord on the back of it let's hear some of the quotes what donald trump where am i he's fine okay why are there so many flies in here i did this this article made me like go and look at a video because i didn't want to be burned twice because i was burned by muller by like he you know him never talking and everyone's, oh, he's so stoic and tough.

And that's why he doesn't talk. And it turns out he doesn't talk because when he finally did, an elderly Muppet voice came out of his head. He was like, well, this guy's really done it this time. Like, oh, fuck. No, no. And Jackith has a pretty normal voice he just seems like a like first he reminded me of frank vogel the former lakers coach i mean for people who haven't heard his voice here is it just give you a little taste of what uh old jack smith

sounds like he just sounds like a dude this indictment was voted by a grand jury of citizens in the southern District of Florida. Yeah. You know, pretty standard. He's not pulling. He's not giving Mueller or like DeSantis or Jared Kushner, you know, these people who we saw a lot. And then when you finally hear them, you're like, wait, that's not the voice that comes out of that head. Like, that is totally not what I was expecting.

This guy seems like somebody that liberals will be able to credibly jerk off to after having heard him speak and like seeing him in court. Hey, man, he's been trying people at the Hague. Just not the U.S. Just not the U.S. Just not the U.S. Yeah, definitely not the U.S. some of these shirts yeah definitely not the US some of these shirts are like so they look like they were designed by the people

who like designed the MMA like tap out shirts like karma is Jack Smith what the fuck no I mean the puns suck too like at least Muller there was Muller time like that was kind of stupid enough and that's like Mr.ith goes to washington unisex short sleeve t-shirt yeah yeah okay can we do we have

any other good puns for jack yeah i don't understand the impulse i want to meet one person who sincerely unironically wants a jack smith t-shirt and like plans to hold on to it and wear it it's just like and this happens every election cycle this happens all the time there's always insane merchandise for whatever the hot new political figure is and i just want to fast forward in time like 15 years for someone to be caught in a sleep shirt and they're like who the fuck is beto o'rourke why do you got a a Clearly photoshopped shirt of him Shirtless like riding a horse

Like oh yeah I was really excited about This perpetual democrat Loser Oh he's Beto O'Rourke Wait what's four seasons Total landscaping Now that one still rules And

I want to meet those people too because because I'm fucking upside down on these karma is Jack Smith shirts. I've got crates of them here. Yeah. I told you, Jack Helvetica, like maybe would have been a better font than using. I think was that curls. MT is the font that you're using. Yeah.

Not a great one. I have to look up that font. You haven't seen you're you're a font guy right that is one of the most insulting things you've ever said to me i thought you were fun you don't know curls mt yeah this one oh yeah okay curls yeah yeah yeah it's like for little kids birthdays that like where you're doing the decorations on a dot matrix printer yeah i mean i think it's so funny too because like there's such a trend right now with just bad just like merch in general not even to do with politics like everyone's doing the old like sort of uh what is

cash money records like 90s southern rap album kind of aesthetic like on a t-shirt or like old wrestler t-shirts yeah you couldn't even do a jack Smith like that, where he's like in a Rolls Royce. Right. You know what I mean? With like a no limit style t-shirt. Yeah. Jack Smith. 100.

These suck. The ones that they've released so far, this one features the slogan. Somebody's going to get jacked up, which what the fuck? I mean, I might buy just for myself. It's a cool slogan for me. But yeah, just irrespective of political context. That's a cool thing for me to be saying.

The only way to catch a jack off is to have Jack on the case. I think a good one. Yeah, I'm sending that one to TeePublic now Yeah I guess that's good Now that I think about it Trump's a real jack off Thanks The real problem with this guy Real jag off I get that like I get that we have to

That people in their minds These fucking like Mueller or Smith Or you know alvin bragg or whatever they become like these savior figures but like to the point of making just the most low energy merch i mean i guess that that's the point is like just like how there's grifters on the right there's like some assholes gonna buy this stupid shirt that i just made designed in two seconds and i can just make money off of that enthusiasm. When, oh shit.

When in the end, it's like, let's just fucking get off this stuff. Like that these people are going to save us. The problems are so much bigger than what fucking Jack Smith can do. Miles just dropped his handgun, by the way. He likes to play with his handgun while he's... It's not loaded, okay? I learned my lesson.

All right. Well, speaking of real jack offs let's talk about this guy belgian tiktoker do we have his name i don't it's it's not even worth saying his name we won't even say his name is david bairton and if you really want to fucking waste your time he's at ragnar lafou and there's underscores but i'm not going to give you that information so anyway i think fans of arrested development yes we bring this up, they will surely remember the patriarch's penchant for teaching lessons to his children, George Bluth, in the most intense and fucked up ways where he would get his friend and former employee, J. Walter

Weatherman, who was an amputee, he had one arm, be the shock value focal point to get his kids to do things like leave a note or stop yelling and things like this, where they would get in these terrible accidents and freak the kids out. And then J. Walter Weatherman would be like, and that's why you always leave a note. faked his own death and he got his wife and daughters to all promise that they would all just pretend grieve the loss of their father and family member so you know daddy can do a tiktok right and once like word spread of his death quote-unquote people gathered like in liaise or whatever to for this fucking funeral when the service began this guy fucking descends in a helicopter yes to surprise the mourning family and friends. And most people were fucking confused because they're like, wait, what the fuck?

And then they're like, oh, OK, this asshole really just faked his death. Some people were like relieved and in tears. But overall, I think it was just a surreal moment that was totally unnecessary. And this is the best part. So when he talked about why he did it, it sounds pretty much like George Bluth. He says, what I see in my family often hurts me. I never get invited to anything. Nobody sees me. We all grew apart. I felt unappreciated. That's why I wanted to give them a life lesson and show them that you shouldn't wait until someone is dead to meet up with them. Yeah.

And then he goes on to talk about like some of the people, his like family members that reached out to him. He was like, yeah, proves who really cares about me. And those who didn't come, you know, I guess I know what's going on. But I did like, and those always said, and then also those who didn't come, they did contact me to meet up. So in a way I did win. I would say your relatives not showing up to your funeral is not a

win i was not showing up to your funeral finding out you did a like hoax to show them and then texting you and being like hey we should hang out sometime god i didn't know he was this bad man sure it's when i started reading this story and you know the the headline very clearly spells it out that a man faked his death to teach a lesson i was really i went into this thinking that's misguided that's stupid also assuming that the lesson was going to be like climate change or something important some kind of statement about something important the fact that the lesson is and that's why you should invite me to more parties family that is the saddest possible reason to fake your own death true why you should stop not inviting

me to party right i get actively shunned you're you're just letting everybody know why no one invites you to shit because you're the guy who does, you know, all this wild shit just for TikTok views. And you'll pretend you're dead and be like, did I guilt you, mom? Yeah. Okay, good. Can I come to my niece's christening now? Is this not a crime? I don't know.

Like, I don't know. I think if he had fooled the local authorities, maybe. Right. he had fooled the local authorities maybe but yeah i if he just like had them post on social that he was dead and then like invite to a fake funeral like probably not oh yeah the the daughter this is what's really fucked up like in the post that was about his death his daughter wrote this caption rest in peace daddy I will never stop thinking about you. Why is life so unfair? Why you, you were going to be a grandfather and you still had your whole life ahead of you. I love you. We love you. We will never forget you. Now I think obviously

he wrote that, but like this is the level of deception you're going to just to get the people to gather and let out an exasperated sigh when it's like, I didn't die, folks. I'm actually still alive. But yeah, I don't know. I think this like goes on just we've seen this like, really bizarre need like the content creation era is just like affecting everything from like parents being like, oh, you thought my you thought my toddler really got a prison tattoo? No, I just pretended up until that point and then made you believe that. And it's kind of like tangentially, right? Alexander Salmon in Slate was observing just the shit that was happening outside of the courthouse in Miami when Trump's arraignment and their observation was like so many people

were just there to live stream or capture content. Like even the MAGA people, they were all there to promote like a Twitch and Instagram, a TikTok account, whatever. So not so much that they're really pissed about what was going on with Trump, but like his arraignment was an opportunity for like their own personal like enrichment and brand building. I mean, even January 6th, like, you know, I had my notes on how they went about that thing, and they just seemed more focused

on, like, live streaming the whole thing than any, you know, strategic objective. Yeah. I should be absolutely clear that I wooed at January 6th. I should add some context. It happens to be my birthday. It's now been co-opted by this whole other situation.

I just wanted to explain that very quickly. That's fine. You'll show them all, though. One day we'll know January 6th for the right reasons. Absolutely. What was that like on your birthday? Did you start off being like, some shit could go left today or you're like

i don't know let me just focus on my birthday or because you were there right yeah yeah yeah i my main thing was like i can't believe they let us just walk right in here i'm gonna put my feet on everyone's desk the day itself like a lot of people i was like completely glued to my tv and absent-mindedly fielding birthday texts from friends and family. The funny thing about January 6th now is every year on my birthday, I get calls from relatives that start out with happy birthday and then inevitably turn into like, I still remember where I was a couple of years ago. I just, I thought the country was falling apart. I couldn't believe it. What were we going to do? I was like, yeah, okay.

Thanks, Anne-Kathy. Great to hear from you. Wait, but do you remember where you were when I was born on January 6th? No, no, not at all. But my God, what a bleak day. Yeah. My birth is the second most important January 6th in my family now, which is a huge, huge hit. and january 6th in my family now which is huge huge hit uh but but speaking of people turning everything into content i've uh this reveals how old i am and because i have old man concerns now

and i've talked about this before on my own podcast quick question with soren and daniel one of my like biggest fears and and sources of anxiety that i live with every day is i don't want to be some kind of collateral damage in some young tiktokers prank it's like a real concern anytime i'm in a target or just out in the wild and i see a youth with a phone i'm like he's gonna fucking kick me in the balls and if i get mad he's gonna say it's a prank and then i'm gonna get madder and then that's gonna be the thing that gets views too it's like it's just one of those things that's hanging over my head like i know any minute now i'm gonna be on some 16 year old's prank show and and i'm gonna be made to look very foolish by some teen millionaire yeah i think i don't think i've talked about this but i was i think I was collateral damage in a prank thing. I was in a Target, and these teens kept turning,

putting on the Bluetooth speakers. They were somehow hijacking all the speakers in the audiovisual section of the Target to play really filthy rap songs and like i was with my kids so you like my instinct was to like literally like shake my fist at them and cover my kids ears to be the exact person they so i haven't gone and searched for it because i don't know how i would do that but uh yeah if anybody sees a prank video of me meant to do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. What's the worst like prank like Daniel that you are envisioning? Like because I

know the fact that you've thought about it this far. I know that there's probably levels to the kinds of pranks you want to be in, but there's probably one that you saw on TikTok and like that's the fucking kind I absolutely never want to fucking be in. There's the kind where they'll be in a mall and they will steal someone's purse or their bag and run away. And then if you catch them, they say, it's just a prank, bro, it's just a prank! And they point to all the cameras around. And sometimes

it feels good because the pranker will get kicked in the face by some person who's helping out. But very often, the person who gets mad because their purse was stolen is made to look like some some dork scold loser yeah yeah yeah and i i fear that i fear like every time i'm out walking with my girlfriend that someone's going to take her purse or do something to mess with her and i will in a misguided attempt to defend her humiliate both

of us in the process right or like you're like no daniel don't fall for it and you let him take off what the fuck he just stole my purse it could be a fucking prank i'm not getting us involved in that shit that's just so yeah i hate this time twitter or tikt twitter say that phrase so much all right let's take a another break and we'll come back and talk about the eagerly anticipated netflix restaurant i've been thinking about you i want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.

No, you mean you have to listen to us. I mean, you can still watch us, but you got to listen. Like, if you're watching us, you have to tell us. Like, if you're out the window, you have to say, hey, I'm watching you outside of the window. Just, you know what? Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back and you know with it with these writers going on strike netflix gotta make some money somehow won't people please think of of the netflix executives of the world so they're finally doing what everyone's been asking them for, paying their writers a fair...

No, actually, wait. They're opening a restaurant called Netflix Bites. Is someone going to firebomb this place? It's a brick-and-mortar restaurant in Los Angeles. Presumably, you will need to use a password to enter that you can't remember, and you're not allowed to tell your family members without getting in trouble but it will feature food from netflix shows and not like sloppy steaks or like you know that's the only thing i'd go for yeah if it was like ever to go against my brethren in the wga i'm like bro they got sloppy steaks they're they're doing it all with

like unscripted food shows like chef's table iron chef quest ah sorry iron chef quest for an iron legend oh yes you may know that i may notice i am not familiar with any of these they're also having food from nailed it which is a fun show where people are bad at cooking is is kind of the point of that one. So you can eat like a malformed Elmo cake. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

This, this looks like, this looks like maybe one of their worst ideas ever. Yeah. But I love to see that in the midst of it all. They're like, I don't know, man,

we're going to have shitty cakes that you can't even describe and old, like day old barbecue. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I kind of understand. I don't even think I understand the impulse of you've seen this food on Iron Chef. Have you ever wanted to eat it at a restaurant? I don't I don't watch a lot of cooking shows, but I've never.

to eat it at a restaurant. I don't watch a lot of cooking shows, but I've never... The point is watching them do it and getting caught up in the excitement of the competition of it. It's not like... It doesn't make me hungry. I like it for the reality TV aspects of it, I think. Right.

Unless you're being like, hey, the whole thing is a show that you're in there and you see it all. Then you're just going to a restaurant and someone brings you food. And you're like, and that's from Iron Chef. Right. Yeah, that's the other part of it because it's, from what I gather, these shows make all kinds of food all the time.

And I'm never, when I go out to eat, it's like, I think I want sushi tonight. Or let's do American or let's do Mexican. It's never like, let's do whatever the Netflix algorithm has programmed into their menu. Oh, yeah. This dish was created by somebody who was just eliminated in the kitchen, actually. So, yeah, I think what is the most iconic thing from film or TV to eat in general? Like that you felt because I remember it like there's that YouTube channel like binging with Babish or like that guy just like makes stuff from like film and tv like but the real life version i feel like all italian restaurants are kind of based on like goodfellas and like supreme you know like some of the italian food like there there's something where that those like kind of tie back into each other yeah but yeah there's in the first home alone when little kevin is is

waiting for all his traps are set he's just waiting for the the wet bandits to to show up he makes himself macaroni and cheese in the microwave and sits down and he's about to eat it and then the criminals show up so he never gets to have one bite it's the best looking macaroni and cheese i've ever seen in my fucking life. And I want it every time. If there was a restaurant, Netflix, if you sold that macaroni and cheese from Home Alone, strikes over. You can get whatever you want.

If you gave me that dessert spread in Jurassic Park, when the little kids are eating and she's got that Jell-O and shit, and his hands are all burnt up. Oh, man, that dessert spread. I'm always like, what the fuck do I got to do to get in there right now? Yeah, that's where I'm at. What about you, Jack? I don't know, man.

Yeah. I thought I already answered this with the Italian restaurant. Okay. All right. That's your answer. Meatballs. You can also see the marketing meeting that came up with this. Netflix is like a food brand.

People watch Chef's Table on air. Because Chef's Table is basically food porn at this point or at any point. It is just watching chefs make delicious looking food. Yeah. So it's just, I don't know. I can completely see the marketing meeting where they came up with this pitch, and it's a very depressing plan is so like to do something that elevates and brings more attention to their non-scripted products i think it's also a thing to be like yeah and this is what's cool man yeah that's all reality based not that shit that's written by creative people

what if you got to see this shitty cake it's also a really interesting move for netflix to do right now where they're basically just saying hey hey, writers, are you sick of protesting in the same studios? Well, here's a new location you could protest at. Here's a brand new spot. Yeah. That you can make. Yeah, you're scabbing by going in there, asshole.

Like, ugh. Just wanted to start a mistake. And finally, this next story is not really a story. It's just a thing like I wanted to ask you guys what your plans were for this, like whether you were going. It sounds like, Daniel, you're going to be be involved but uh there's gonna be a comedy fantasy camp with jay leno and adam carolla the ad for it looks like it's it was designed in 1998

adam carolla i'm not sure how to describe what he's doing in this picture he looks like he just caught somebody like he's scolding. Like he's scolding. I think he's scolding you for being woke. Yeah, that's probably true. Cause he's doing like a finger wag. Yeah. He's asking you triggered much.

That's what he's doing. He's like, you've got pronouns. It's like, what the fuck? Yeah. Sorry. Oh,

wow. Yeah. So comedy fans, aspiring standup comediansians, and television writers. Take note, Adam Carolla and Jay Leno have partnered with the producers of Rock and Roll Fantasy Camps to launch the first ever Comedy Fantasy Camp, a four-day event which offers participants the opportunity to work with some of the most successful talent in the comedy industry. I mean, they're right there. They're headlining it.

Yeah. Yeah. I like that one of the guest speakers is a writer from the show Friends. And, like, no disrespect to any sitcom writer in the 90s, but teaching a class today, it's got to be like, well, the secret to success is, you know, write Friends. Write a show back in a time when writers were getting paid $90 million to make sitcoms. It's that easy, folks.

It's that easy. Just get in a good writer's room, do a couple seasons, and then you can own a house. You can own two houses. What's my path to success? I wrote one episode of Spin City 19 years ago, and now I'm a millionaire. Yeah. Who is Alonzo Bodden? That's another comedian.

Alonzo Bodden is like a, he's one of the panelists on that show. Wait, wait, don't tell me. And he's a stand up comedian. Ah, OK. He's fine. OK, well, at the camp, you're going to receive the following. You will get to do you'll develop your own standard routines and perform them on a real comedy stage. and perform them on a real comedy stage. Oh, Jack. That was so depressing. Also, it's happening in Hollywood, which that's where our studio is. And it is just always full of tourists looking bewildered by the fact

that Hollywood is just the worst part of Los Angeles. It's just everything is caked in dirt. It's a mess reading that part about how over this this week long or four day process whatever you're going to develop your own stand-up routine that is the loudest like grift signal i've ever heard in my entire life it's so clearly like no one if if the if the comics were were trying to teach you how to be a stand-up in good faith they would first and foremost say you you starting out cannot write a competent stand-up routine in four days as an assignment for class that's not where it comes from yeah it's well but there's like i feel

like there's going to be some good you know gritty talent coming through this camp because it only costs $3,000 up to $4,000 if you pick the VIP mentorship package. The VIP, yeah, of course. This is going to be a bunch of very wealthy people getting together to write stamps. I kind of almost feel like we need to send somebody to write. I kind of almost feel like. We need to send somebody to this. I feel Jack. I think we. I can't do it. I don't think my mental health is strong enough.

I think I would do it. And just do some really wild shit up there. Like get naked. And just see it. Like just fuck with everybody there. And just see what the fuck happens. But to your point. Daniel. It really is doing the thing where they're waving this like it's a grift because the whole thing is basically like you're gonna get a video of yourself on stage at the improv

by the end of it and i think a lot of people are gonna be like i need that for my fucking reel just to be up there saying my weird shitty jokes learning how to write you know alienating comedy it's all going to be wonderful. And it's based on the popular long running like rock and roll fantasy camp where you you do the similar thing where you go and you learn from like other famous musicians and you maybe play somewhere on stage at the end of it. And if any of your listeners are thinking of going to comedy fantasy camp and spending the $3,000 to do it, just before you do that, to become a successful comedian, ask yourself if any rock star you know said that they got their start in fantasy camp. If there is one successful story from there, then sure, go for it.

But I'm pretty sure the answer is no. Oh, man. Oh, Jack. Yeah, that's where Freddiereddie mercury came out of bohemian rhapsody do we just go to the like the uh performance like the graduation show because i think that's really what you want to see is the culmination of this three thousand to five thousand dollar grift to hear them just tell a bunch of like rinsed and reused shit jokes there's a before and after i just went to my son's last day of kindergarten and on the wall they had first day of kindergarten

pictures and last day of kindergarten pictures and it was really cute great idea he looked hella grizzled compared to how he did at the beginning of the year but like i i feel like in the four days of this comedy fantasy camp like if we did like before and after pictures like they would just like so just the light will have left their eyes like on the way out yeah it'd be like but yeah exit interviews would be fucking amazing There's something called the groupie package. Oh, no. And that's an add-on, which basically means you can bring your spouse or significant other who has access to all the meet and greets and headliner jams and take a picture with Jay Leno and Adam.

Wow. And you get lunches. What a joy for them. But you cannot go to any of the comedy workshops. Those are locked down just for the paying doofuses highly proprietary private information that not everybody has access to that you're gonna learn here there's a podcasting workshop a voice acting workshop improv workshop oh my god oh man i mean sure I don't begrudge anyone for getting the paycheck,

except for, like, fucking Adam Carolla and Jay Leno. But, you know, I'm just picturing the, like, UCB, you know, like, talented improvisers who are, like, collecting a paycheck for doing this. And, you know, great. Good for you. Awesome. I also love the, like, writers that they have that they have they have like this guy from friends

liz astroff from king of queens kevin hench just tim allen yeah is that a show or he's just he's just generally a tim allen guy good for him just hanging with tim man that's his big thing yeah the paychecks must be fucking huge if they have like a friend's right if it's worth it for a friend's writer to yeah do this i mean it makes sense right because the first the first thing was just grifting on people who had this like repressed wannabe rock star shit from the 70s and 80s they could never get out so they're like man i can like hammy say sammy hammy segar who's an off-brand impersonator uh but like sammy hagar like i'll jam with him with my like terrible guitar playing and i think with this one now we're in the era of like wannabe comedians and hot take artists yeah that this is almost seems like the perfect grift for

this era of lonely yeah this is irresponsible like i'm sure the rock star people get up there and immediately like realize like oh yeah this this kind of sounds like shit you know like when they're up there jamming or along with like really talented musicians but this is just going to create like middle-aged millionaires who think they're actually could be stand-ups if they just had chosen that path. Are you guys worried at all that this is going to steal some clientele away from your upcoming podcasting fantasy

camp? Is that announced yet? Well, I'm glad you bring that up because yeah, we are having our Zeitgang fantasy camp. No, I mean, I am a little worried. I will show my hand here. I am a little worried i'm not i will show my hand here i am a little worried that it's going to eat into our podcast is the sour grapes no it's not it's absolutely not i just can't i i but again you know kudos to the people who found that like market

and like this is where we get it you can for 500 you can have a photographer follow you. Yeah, it's Disney World branded photos. It's like just, yeah. Absolutely no relation to any other market in the world. $500 to get pictures. I don't feel too terrible about it because it's such a loud grift. And I don't want to completely call it a victimless crime. But if it's someone who's

going to spend four thousand dollars for jay leno and adam carolla's comedy yeah you don't it's like yeah you're i i'm okay if you lose that four thousand dollars you seem okay to lose that four thousand dollars yeah you have that with you know no one is like having a fundraiser in their small town so they can get sent from dixon, Illinois by their friends and family to Hollywood to learn to make it. Okay, but what's the percentage? That's why, God, I don't want to go, but I would love to infiltrate

and just talk to other people. And how many are retired men who are just like... Dismissed men. They always told me I was funny, man. I've always been saying stuff and I hate woke stuff and I just want to learn

from the best and how many really are kind of misguided. What would the two of you as people who have, you know, launched careers in comedy and helped others do so and are successful. What actually, what would you tell somebody if they said, I think this is the way for me, man.

Right. I mean, right. Or if they, I would tell them honestly like i would be like yeah it sounds like it it sounds like that's well fucking leno are you kidding me i can't believe they're practically giving that shit away that's great yeah yeah amazing just be like everybody else you know start from the bottom you know or spend the five grand to be truly if you want to start from this would be the lowest bottom that you could start from

like if there is somebody who comes out of this camp to be a successful comedian like truly nobody else will ever be able to say that they started from the bottom no compared to that person that's i think i would tell that person this seems like a great networking opportunity. You could take one picture with Jay Leno and then meet a bunch of other people who also aren't successful in this industry. This would be a great opportunity to meet unfunny inexperienced people.

Get a crew. You can't get your crew. Who are your guys? That's the first question you're going to have to answer when Marc Maron inevitably interviews you. Who are your guys? And this is a good chance to meet your guys. My Matt Rushmore's got to be Carolla, Leno, the guy who wrote Tim Allen.

Yep. He wrote Tim Allen. And then we're waiting for that fourth face, and it could be you. Oh, my God. wrote and then we're waiting for that fourth face and it could be you yeah oh my god daniel o'brien such a pleasure having you as always where can people find you follow you all that good stuff you can find me on twitter at dw underscore inc uh the show i worked for is last week tonight but you can't watch it right now so go and yell at the zaz man and all the other studios if you want that show back i would get in trouble if I didn't promote the podcast that I do. Quick question with Soren and Daniel. Soren, if you know me from Cracked, you know Soren from Cracked.

We've been doing this podcast for a while. It sucks, but you should listen to it anyway. I guess I can announce this here. We're making a dramatic return. We're pivoting to video, Soren and I, we started filming the podcast. The two of us in a room together laughing and having fun with each other. And that'll be out on YouTube sometime in the future. Amazing. Nice.

Got you. We need to start doing that, Miles. I was saying that to you. I was saying that to you. Get the fuck off my shit. Well, no, no. To be fair. I was just telling a person about the podcast and they were mystified

by uh podcast at podcasting as a concept and we're like you're not on youtube like that's the i've seen podcasts on youtube are you right they're like they're talk shows on youtube right they're like i guess that is how most people ingest them now but to be fair daniel i i actually got the idea because that is one of the slugs of the things you'll learn at the fantasy comedy camp right about getting into comedy and digital media with the rise of platforms like tiktok and youtube comedy is taking new form so i was thinking like oh shit we should take it off from that but yeah i guess i guess i stole that idea from you yeah amazing is there a work of media that you've been enjoying being there's three real quick ones

i saw spider verse for the second time in theaters yesterday and that movie rules so much i'm obsessed with it friend of the pod jamie lobsters book raw dog incredible i finished that a few days ago and uh i just love that book and everyone who listens to this show knows how funny she is so get that book if you didn't already uh new york times bestseller yeah yeah my favorite tweet and it lives within a family of tweets is i don't know if you guys talked about this on your basketball show or not uh did you see joker getting interviewed at a press conference and they asked him if he is excited about the parade coming up no it's my favorite thing the interviewers are like you were you were saying that you were surprised that you didn't feel much of anything but you feel more now and are you excited about

this parade and joker looks off camera and says when this parade when this parade i say say thursday and he goes no and like his face drops he says i have to go home oh no yeah i was hoping the only thing i said is that i was hoping he would ride down the middle of like in the parade on one of his like little horse-drawn characters yeah which are i i realized that i was assuming they were little horses but it's yeah they are normal sized horses he's just a giant yeah he is someone that that i obviously don't get a ton of Denver games in Jersey, so I didn't get to watch him play too much. Reading about him all year long,

I was very upset that he might get his third MVP, and I didn't want that. There was just something in me that didn't want that to happen. And once he didn't get it, I was rooting for him. Now I like him. I like this big, doofy guy who seems to hate basketball. Right. He's my favorite player.

Yeah, I love his relationship. I think it's like he's just financing his love of horses through his basketball. Yeah.
