In Your Dreams with Owen Thiele
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…
Episodes
It’s 11:54 p.m. and Owen’s good friend, the lovely Geraldine Viswanathan, has joined him for a sleepover. They contemplate going blonde (hot), analyze the term “reheating [someone’s] nachos,” and compare sleeping habits. Later, they decide to pitch a coming-of-age Marvel tv series, and Geraldine talks about her upcoming MCU movie Thunderbolts* and what it was like breathing the same air as Julia Louis-Dreyfus (did she convince Gera...
It’s 11:11 p.m. (make a wish!) and Owen is joined by literal angel Kaia Gerber in her stunning DÔEN x Library Science nightgown (so on brand!). Owen and Kaia talk about the time they went to the Sweat Tour together—where they were each other’s boyfriends for the night. They also discuss their TikTok and Instagram algorithms, and Owen learns that Kaia is not on BookTok but instead ExorcismTok (??)! Kaia then tries to help Owen find ...
It’s 10:20 p.m. and Owen is joined in his bed by the one and only Benny Blanco! Owen and Benny talk about the power of makeup (yes, men can and should wear it), the beauty in mundane kitchen tasks, and what they would cook if they were forced to by a home invader (would you hurt someone who made you tuna salad on open-faced toast?). Benny shares his date-night routine and what he would plan as a final date in a hypothetical world-e...
It’s 1:32 a.m. and Owen is in bed and recovering from a weekend at Unwell’s Miami Spring Break event. He’s joined by a life-size pillow of himself (hot) that he received from his recent brand deal (FINALLY!!!). After admitting to lying about watching The White Lotus, Owen reveals that he recently decided to binge the current season and—spoiler alert—he loves it. Owen then shares some stories from Unwell’s Spring Break that include ...
It’s 11:36 p.m. and Owen is fangirling over the fact that Drew Afualo (his TikTok queen) has joined him in bed. They get nostalgic over high school and discuss Drew’s time jersey chasing in college. Owen (Scorpio) and Drew (Virgo) also talk about the real villain of the zodiac, their favorite pop girlies, and Drew’s engagement ring (Jared, take notes!). Later, they discuss Drew’s acting era (can confirm, she WOULD play Moana’s dad)...
It’s 12:09 a.m. and Owen is back in bed, this time with comedian and fellow LA native Grace Kuhlenschmidt! They compare their high schools (go Sailors!), talk about Grace’s Michigan beach babe girlfriend, and confer about what it means to be a chapstick lesbian and a GrandeLASH gay. Grace discusses her feelings about doing G (because not drinking is boorrrriiiing) and being the catcher of her high school softball team while also th...
It’s 11:27 p.m. and Owen is back with another solo sesh in bed! First, he talks about growing up a very cute child and morphing into a fugly teen (look it up!). Then, Owen discusses his Oscars Sunday, which involved a get-together at his place with close friends and two complete randos (kinda hot?!). Owen also talks about his recent salmon sperm facial, his Interview Magazine appearance, and the day he felt the most famous. Enjoy t...
It’s 1:03 a.m. and personality, actress, singer—and now, author!—Dylan Mulvaney is in bed with Owen! They discuss Kiernan Shipka’s holiday party (hot Santa alert), their shared theater kid energy, and Dylan’s experience as a 16-year-old with bottom braces working at Brandy Melville. Then, Dylan describes her perfect date and Owen reveals he has the perfect person to set her up with (hey hot Google exec). They also debate whether po...
It’s 3:42 a.m. and Owen’s childhood friends Jill and Lucie (they’re mother and daughter!) drop by in their silk pink slips. The trio discuss Jill’s colon issues (this is your warning, podiatrists of the greater LA area), Lucie’s saladgate (beware the crouton police), and their shared rambling-on-Ambien story. Before this quickie is over, Jill leads us all in a meditation (try it!) that hopefully leads to clear chakras and better sl...
It’s 9:21 p.m. and Owen is balding … maybe. But more importantly, he’s back in his bed after a whirlwind weekend in NYC! Owen recounts hanging out with his ex (yes, the ex from *that* story) on Valentine’s Day, which featured a foot massage (delish!) that had Owen stuck in a foot bath with his ex on one side and Jared on the other. Owen also talks about showing up to his friend’s birthday party, and how the people at the door all s...
It’s 12:22 a.m. and the one and only Jake Shane (actually Jake Roshkow—did you know that?) has found himself in Owen’s bedroom. Owen invited him, it’s not weird. They dive into Jake’s origin story, the last time he cried (September 2019 at Maccheroni Republic), and his experiences at the Alo Gym (spoiler alert: Owen gets an invite!). Then, Owen and Jake go bar for bar with edible experiences, including Jake blacking out at the Angr...
It’s 11:11 p.m. (make a wish!) and this week it’s an Unwell collaboration with Owen finally getting Hallie Batchelder into his bed! They discuss their formative years, including Hallie’s first boyfriend (you’ll never look at TI-84 calculators the same way again) and Owen’s high school life skills class. Owen then admits that he’s DEEP on HallieTok, and inquires all about her lore—black credit card, filler, that Summer House guy, et...
It’s 11:33 p.m. and Owen has brought Jimmy Tatro into bed with him. The real-life bros discuss childhood nostalgia and share their personal experiences with culture from the aughts (did you also watch Mean Girls sitting beside your crush?!). While Jimmy doesn’t actually explain to Owen what fantasy football is, he does talk about being last in both of his leagues and the punishments that await him (hint: it involves McDonald’s). Ow...
It’s 3:11 a.m. and Owen is back in bed, and this time he’s wearing a hat because of his horrific haircut. Owen talks about the quasi-end of TikTok and how he almost became a famous influencer on the app. Owen also discusses his holidays, including his New Year’s in the mountains and his failed holiday party. Then, Owen shares his favorite baby names, which leads him into recounting a story about the time he *almost* ruined his clos...

It’s 1:03 a.m. and Owen has invited his bff and comedic genius Benito Skinner (aka Benny Drama) for the In Your Dreams holiday episode! The boys don their gay apparel (plaid onesies) to discuss their first impressions of each other. It wouldn’t be a holiday episode without Owen admitting to a bathroom dilemma (a literal holy sh*t) brought on by Benny’s coffee order, or talking about the best gifts to receive (a Sephora gift card fr...
