This week, for our very first episode (!!), we launch the Daily Friday Podcast into the world—snack wrap in one hand, Labubu in the other. Your fearless leader and host Jack Lawler of Almost Friday Media and his producer Kate Klausner break down everything from McDonald’s gone mid to why Emmy voters are obsessed with old people and incest plotlines. We mourn Nathan Fielder’s snub, debate popcorn bucket innovation, and discuss the Labubu phenomenon and haunted dolls. With our special guest, bro expert Strider Wilson, we unpack the Coldplay exposé of a CEO's affair and attempt to understand the freakish longevity (and erection stats) of Bryan Johnson, the horniest vampire in tech.

It's August 22nd and this week on episode 6 of the Daily Friday Podcast, we tackle the biggest threat facing America today: people not drinking. Jack makes a passionate plea to save our nation’s bars, brunches, and breakups. We run through the Report Card: : billionaires are heading back to the Titanic (??), Justin Bieber may have a body double, and Walmart shrimp might turn you into a superhero (or kill you). Later, Doctor Locks, Gavin McHugh and Zach “Glue Guy” Lupica from Almost Friday Media's Hold the Phone join the pod to draft the best fantasy football punishments of all time. Highlights include adopting a child, eating a Carolina Reaper while monologuing, and doing a sexy calendar shoot for the squad. It’s punishment szn, baby. And to close things out, Hero of the Week returns with four iconic contenders: a glitter-bombing ex-girlfriend, a haunted popcorn bucket, a food influencer who got hit by a car mid-bite, and a man who built a working subway system… for his cat. Drink up, draft wisely, and as always—Go Jets. 🤝🤝🤝 Keep up with our socials!

Lucky number SEVEN of the Daily Friday Podcast, we kick off Labor Day weekend with lottery dreams, Taylor Swift’s engagement, and why Burning Man’s infamous Orgy Dome finally met its match. Jack and Kate unpack the Cracker Barrel culture war, discuss the newest brain-rot words officially added to the dictionary (Skibidi? Tradwife? 67??), and take a cursed stroll down memory lane with Will Smith’s spaghetti AI cameo. Later, Entrapranure and Almost Friday TV’s own Billy Langdon joins the pod to tell the truly insane story of Karl Bushby — a man who’s been walking around the world since 1998, battling jungles, Russian prisons, polar bears, and the Caspian Sea on nothing but the love of the game. And to close things out, Hero of the Week features: a whale romance-prevention specialist, a man with a knife in his chest for eight years, Hawaii’s newest YouTube-trained football hero, and California’s most tenacious butt-sniffer.

Episode 8 of the Daily Friday Podcast, and this week, we cover everything from Skinny Rock’s shocking transformation and the 15-minute standing ovation plague at film festivals…to Burning Man turning into a full-blown Book of Revelations fever dream. (Yes, the Orgy Dome fell, a murder happened mid-burn, and a “chosen child” was born in the desert. Circle of life, baby.) Later, Olive Garden’s never-ending pasta pass sparks fiscal debates, the U.S. Open encourages reckless behavior from billionaires and civilians alike, and conjoined twins Abby & Brittany somehow find themselves the subject of a paparazzi spree. Almost Friday TV’s own Liam Cullagh joins the pod to break down Bill Belichick’s jaw-dropping fall from grace, his 24-year-old girlfriend, and whether breaking up mid-blowout could actually save the Tar Heels’ season. To close, Jack spirals into the body double rabbit hole (Avril, Bieber, The Rock, even Obama?), and we debut a new signature segment: Kid of the Week—featuring a soda-bin outlaw, a Chick-fil-A runaway, and a Hershey Park daredevil.
