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.
This week on the In Your Dreams podcast, It’s 10:37 p.m. and the legendary Julianne Hough has shown up in her cute Alo set to spend time in bed with Owen. They immediately bond over being theater kids and patrons of the arts (yes, Broadway songs WILL be sung). Then, Julianne shares her fascinating lore with Owen, including her time as a nine-year-old dancer in Florida and her journey to LA and Dancing with the Stars at age 18 (she experienced 2000s Hollywood, ppl!). 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? One thing is for certain: This episode is one of our favorites.
