  • BONUS - The Smothers Brothers

    BONUS - The Smothers Brothers
    Mar 25 2026
    We're exercising our First Amendment rights once again by delivering another podcast episode to you! They'll never cancel us!! On today's bonus episode, Zach talks to Dan about his longtime obsession with late-night variety hosts The Smothers Brothers, and their success and failures while fighting CBS. They led a countercultural TV revolution that was becoming a cash cow for the network, only to be fired in 1969. It's a story that's sadly topical because of what's currently happening to Colbert and Kimmel. We talk about the craft, the rise of the comedy album, the stellar writers' room, and more!

  • BONUS - 21st Century Oscar Snubs

    BONUS - 21st Century Oscar Snubs
    Mar 11 2026
    Roll out the red carpet because we're once again talking about the most important story of this month... The Oscars! This week, Dan leads Zach into the frightening place that is his brain and reveals what movies should or should not have won Oscars since 1999. Some years got it right, some years got it wrong, but the important thing to remember is that legacies and little statues last forever. That's what we all learned from that Percy Shelley poem "Ozymandias." If you like references like that, you'll love hearing about every movie ever made from Fight Club to Sinners. Give it a listen!

    BONUS - Best Oscar Moments
    Mar 4 2026
    First off, I would like to thank the Academy for this bonus episode of My New Thing! Today's episode is a little loose, but it's about one of Zach and Dan's lifelong obsessions: awards ceremonies. We talk about how to host, why the speeches matter, what bits we expect Ben Stiller to do this year, and, of course, what is going to win Best Documentary Short. We talked about a lot of very important television moments from the Oscars and beyond, so if you'd like to see more, here is an incomplete list: The Carson Tomahawk Throw Hugh Jackman's 2009 Opening Billy Crystal's 2000 Monologue Mickey Rooney Heckles Steve Martin The Streaker Max Headroom Incident Conan Halftime Joke (written by Skyler Higley) Ben Stiller and Hanks Bits Jon Stewart cuts his hand Chris Rock Interviews Regular People Denzel Washington Says Ease Is Worse Than Hardship Support the show by checking out our sponsors!
