Description
Comedian Owen Thiele is an admirably bad sleeper - and while he’s up basically every hour of the night, he’s obsessing over how to become a household name. He might be an undiagnosed insomniac but he’s a self-diagnosed narcissist. Melatonin has failed him, so he’s turned to podcasting in the wee hours of the night. If he’s not going to get any rest, he might as well solve humanity’s oldest question: how the **** do I become famous? Follow Owen each week on a new adventure as he attempts (and sometimes succeeds!) to gain notoriety, in the way only Owen can – with candor, laugh-out-loud humor, and biting self-awareness. Hopefully, he doesn’t fall asleep first…

Then, Ezra talks about growing up and getting into sports, being featured on the Ellen Show at the ripe age of NINE, and winning two gold medals at the 2024 Paralympic Games. Putting on his journalist hat (coming for you, Gayle King), Owen inquires about the horniness of the Paralympic Village and asks Ezra if he’s had to deal with groupies. Later, Owen and Ezra take on trending topics and we learn where Ezra stands on jorts, veneers, lip liner, and more.

It’s 11:58 p.m. and Owen has just returned from a whirlwind trip to Europe and … an LA impound lot.

Owen discusses donning a durag for Hermès in France, meeting up with Jared’s mother (and religious IYD watcher—hi Kim!) in London, and fighting off fart allegations on a train to a remote area in France to meet his parents. Then, the narrative turns dark as Owen recounts his journey to find his car after returning home from Europe. He paints a picture of lasting trauma that is honestly still haunting him to this day (as in, he’s trying to find a DMV with lenient driving evaluators). Will Owen ever drive again? The answer is no but watch this anyways. Follow and connect with all things @InYourDreams across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

They discuss Dora’s presence on Owen’s TikTok feed, inner monologues (visually stunning), and lyrical subconsciousness (deep). Dora talks about tour life (buses > vans), which ignites a high school memory for Owen (move over, life skills class—it’s time for environmental outdoor experience to shine!). Then, Dora tells a story about her mom reconnecting with Billie Eilish’s parents via Facebook and Owen reacts accordingly. Later, Owen and Dora compare algorithms, Dora shares her name and accent origin story, and they both share their deepest fears.

Owen and Julianne then exchange adorable grandma stories before discussing songs to get drunk to and Julianne ultimately revealing to Owen who “Juicyanne” is (spoiler alert: she is everything). Later, as if by fate, Julianne discloses some of her ideas for inventions, not knowing she’s also talking to a fellow inventor (um ProFile, iykyk). Will they collab on an invention in the future?

Owen goes full investigative journalist when he asks Amita and Malik about their favorite day on the Adults set and what it was like working with him. They also talk about life imitating art (not the other way around), hickeys as a fashion statement (Jared, thoughts?), and JT’s world tour. Get ready to see real chemistry in action, sorry.

Brittany tells Owen about meeting with a psychic who pretty much predicted that she would be cast in Owen’s favorite movie Hairspray. Brittany reminds Owen of his short-lived IG cooking show, Cooking with Owie, and how it ended up with her casting him in her directorial debut, Parachute. Brittany also shares a dating horror story involving a DJ, and tells Owen about her backyard bird, Beatrice. Finally, Brittany shares what she’s up to, acting-wise, and why she’s glad she was recently killed off in a popular TV series—she’s just not a girl with a gun, OK?!
