Episode 206: Fan Girl by Claudia Lonow This month, Dead Pilots Society presents Fan Girl by Claudia Lonow, a returning guest who previously appeared on the podcast with her pilot Assisted Loving, featured in Episode 13. Claudia has had a long and impressive career as a writer and producer. She has created four television series including How to Live with Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life), Accidentally On Purpose, Rude Awakening, and Good Girls Don't. Logline: Bad ass, sexy freedom fighter, MORRIGAN CHASE, escapes from certain death into a worm hole that lands her in the closet of her biggest FAN GIRL -- edibles-loving, Beth -- who's watching similar-but-different events unfold on her favorite sci fi series, DOMINION, which seems to be based on Morrigan's galaxy! Each week, Beth and Morrigan battle Talarus's assassins and make alien allies as they struggle to get Morrigan home, the unlikely friendship causing each woman to grow. The pilot features a cast packed with familiar faces from Dimension 20 on Dropout, making this live reading especially fun for fans of the show. Fan Girl is a wild, funny, and wonderfully strange pilot featuring some of the most entertaining stage directions in Dead Pilots Society history.

Actor, comedian, and host of Crowd Control on Dropout, Jacquis Neal joins me to defend the year 2000 Martin Lawrence vehicle, Big Momma's House. We discuss why this broad comedy is vastly underappreciated and how it brilliantly parodies the classic matriarch character originating from the drama Soul Food. We dive into Martin Lawrence's legendary, trailblazing run in the 90s and 2000s, why critics were entirely wrong to slap this film with a 31% on Rotten Tomatoes, and why the suspension of disbelief required for Big Momma's House makes it a much better watch than White Chicks. We also touch upon the brilliance of the first Bad Boys film and how Will Smith originally landed the role over Eddie Murphy. Jacquis also talks about the new season of his consensual crowd-work show on Dropout, Crowd Control, and how he pushed the wardrobe budget to pay homage to classic stand-up looks from Eddie Murphy, Katt Williams, and Martin Lawrence. ⭐ Support the show on Patreon for:Episodes 24 hours earlyAd FreeBonus ContentExclusive Polls and Updatespatreon.com/everyonesacriticpod

Jenny Curtin partners with schools and districts across New England on behalf of the Barr Foundation, where she helps build and scale Transformative Learning Experiences — rigorous, project-based units developed with partner Springpoint that pull students out of the classroom and into courtrooms, communities, and real business ventures. Her work runs on a philanthropic value most funders don't practice: taking the long view, and staying with schools through the slow, unglamorous work of actual change. A student named Buddha dropped out of high school after years of disconnected, irrelevant coursework — and became his graduation class speaker after enrolling somewhere that taught differently. Jenny Curtin of the Barr Foundation joins the show to explain the model behind that turnaround, and why most school transformation efforts stall before they ever reach a kid like him.
New Girl creator Liz Meriwether joins Kevin Fallon to discuss the surprising story behind the hit sitcom, why she hated its "adorkable" marketing, and the original title that almost made it to television. She also opens up about creating The Dropout, writing Hulu's new thriller Furious, working with Emmy Rossum, bringing Prince and Taylor Swift to New Girl, and what it's like to write the highly anticipated Britney Spears biopic. From behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories to Elizabeth Holmes, comedy, drama, and the future of one of pop culture's biggest icons, this candid conversation is packed with exclusive insights for TV, movie, and entertainment fans.

Furious is a Hulu Original crime drama-thriller series created by Elizabeth Meriwether, who also created New Girl and The Dropout and other things. It is inspired by the 1987 thriller Black Widow, which is also about a female serial killer and the female cop (a DOJ data analyst in 1987 and a new FBI agent here) who’s trying to catch her. Furious stars Emmy Rossum, Lola Petticrew, Quincy Tyler Bernstine, and more. And then: Last weekend was the highest-grossing weekend in the history of the domestic box office. That weekend was led by Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which had the biggest domestic opening ever, and by The Odyssey, which is a three-hour adaptation of Homer that gets closer to $1 billion every day. Also this year, two small horror movies, Obsession and Backrooms, have made more than $390 million each. And the new Toy Story and the new Mario movie and the Michael Jackson biopic have all made $1 billion each. Which is to say: People are going back to the movies! Which is great! Mostly. Right?

Big news for Mythical Beasts everywhere. Good Mythical Morning is coming to Netflix starting September 7, and Frank breaks down what this means for the show, the fandom, and the future of creator content on streaming. GMM is one of three Mythical Entertainment shows making the jump, alongside Last Meals and Mythical Kitchen, with new episodes releasing day-and-date on both Netflix and YouTube.As a longtime fan who starts every morning with GMM, Frank shares an honest mix of excitement and concern. On the worry side: Rhett and Link know the YouTube algorithm better than almost anyone, but Netflix brings a whole new distribution model with its own incentives, and Good Mythical More staying YouTube-exclusive raises questions about how content gets divided. On the positive side: this could finally push GMM into the Emmy conversation alongside Dropout shows like Game Changer, it brings a new funding stream for a company that reinvests in itself, and it hands Netflix its first-ever daily show.0:00 A Mythical Beast Reacts to the Netflix News0:17 What GMM Means to Frank as a Daily Viewer0:49 The Algorithm Worry and How Netflix Could Change the Show1:27 Good Mythical More Stays YouTube Exclusive1:40 The Case for a GMM Emmy2:12 New Funding and Netflix's First Daily Show2:27 Final Thoughts and a Question for the BeastsGood Mythical Morning, Last Meals, and Mythical Kitchen all arrive on Netflix September 7 with new episodes dropping the same day as YouTubeNothing is leaving YouTube, so fans keep watching where they always haveThe big concern is the algorithm shift, since Netflix optimization could quietly reshape a show built for YouTubeGood Mythical More remains YouTube-only, which could become the home for anything that doesn't fit the Netflix modelNetflix legitimacy could be the push GMM needs to join Dropout in the Emmy raceThis marks the first daily show on the biggest streaming service in the world, a gap GMM is uniquely built to fill"I'm a proud Mythical Beast. So when this news came out, I was anxious about it.""Algorithm is king for content creation, and they know the YouTube one better than most.""GMM deserves an Emmy.""If you're not familiar with them yet from YouTube, get ready, because they're coming to Netflix and you will love them if you give them a shot."Enjoyed this episode?

Last Second Dropout (Canadian led band, formed at Berklee and based in Brooklyn) returns with a reimagined version of their song “Aspartame,” available on all streaming platforms June 12. Last Second Dropout – “Aspartame” – Digital Assets Originally released earlier in the band's career, the new version, produced by Garth Richardson, captures both the evolution of the band's sound and the perspective that comes with revisiting a song years later. Blending pop-punk, alternative rock, emo, and hip-hop influences, “Aspartame” pairs explosive guitars and emotionally charged vocals with modern production and a sharper sense of urgency. Canadian lead singer Mark MacDonald explains: “’Aspartame’ is about the difference between the truth of what power people and corporations try to tell you is the truth. It’s also about Diet Coke unless you’re Coca-Cola and you’re gonna sue us then it’s about Diet Pepsi.” Last Second Dropout is a NYC/Toronto-based alternative band that is a little pop-punk, a touch emo, a tad alternative rock and with some hip-hop influences, that create emotionally driven songs built for both catharsis and connection. Known for high-energy performances and emotionally honest songwriting, the band continues to grow through touring, independent releases, and a dedicated online fanbase.

We dissect why he won the primary anyway and what it says about populist vetting. — In his 11-minute exit video, Platner takes zero responsibility and blames the establishment— Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized since June 14. We finally got some updates from Sen. John Thune and Scott Jennings, but conspiracy theories are alive and well. Is this the sad end of a consequential career?— Democrats & the “death of expertise”: Do parties need stronger gatekeepers and smoke-filled rooms (Jonathan Rauch style) to avoid another Platner? We debate Trump's one-of-one effect on norms.— Iran strikes & Strait of Hormuz: Gas prices, Trump's foreign policy loop, and why this could haunt the midterms.— Baseball bonus: Orioles buyers or sellers?

Brian Will has owned 10 companies across five industries, made three exits worth over $500 million, and written four books — including two Wall Street Journal bestsellers. None of it was handed to him and the odds were very much against him. In this conversation with Dwayne Kerrigan, Brian unpacks the frameworks behind his success: the personal filter, the success ladder, and the $80 million decision he almost said no to. In this episode: The "I'm in" moment: Brian's business partner Steve asked him to borrow $66,000 more after nine months of zero revenue and $500,000 in losses — Brian's accountant, CMO, and COO all quit before he finally said yes, and the company sold for $80 million just 18 months later Why "failure leads to success" is a myth Brian calls out directly — it's learning from failure that leads to success, and most people skip that step entirely The success ladder framework: Brian started at step zero with no education, no backing, and no mentors — and why the only two ways to climb are to learn every painful lesson yourself or find someone who's already done it The personal filter concept: everything you've ever heard, read, and experienced creates a subconscious filter that accepts or rejects new information — and why people who seem to have the Midas touch aren't lucky, their brain just knows how to recognize success How Brian's abusive childhood created what he calls the "anger box" — and how that same fuel, once controlled, became his most powerful sales and leadership tool Why three years of counseling after his divorce was the moment he realized the only person he was still trying to prove anything to was himself Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Keep Moving Forward 00:15 - Podcast Intro 00:47 - Meet Brian Will 02:53 - Dumb Kids Hope Story 04:40 - Military Discipline Lessons 08:30 - Abuse, Anger, and Trauma 12:28 - Anger Box Control 13:35 - Learning From Failure 17:04 - Mentorship Strategy 17:59 - Steve and the Big Bet 19:40 - All In Decision 20:38 - Breakthrough and Exit 22:36 - Ego Surrender and Trust 26:46 - Vulnerability and Divorce 32:20 - Drowning Mind in Books 34:30 - Who Steve Was 35:27 - Equity Swap Origin Story 39:23 - Email Marketing Gold Rush 41:10 - Success Filter Framework 46:05 - Wrap Up and Next Episode Resources mentioned: I Give the Dumb Kids Hope, Dropout Multimillionaire, No: The Psychology of Sales and Negotiations, and The Invisible Multimillionaire — Brian Will's books How to Win Friends and Influence People — Dale Carnegie book Master Key to Riches — Napoleon Hill book The E-Myth Revisited — Michael Gerber book Blink — Malcolm Gladwell book Rich Dad Poor Dad — Robert Kiyosaki book Living Forever AI — Brian Will's current company: https://livingforeverai.com/ Quotes: “ Failure does not lead to success, ever, never, ever, ever. Learning from failure leads to success, and that's the thing that a lot of people don't do, especially in business.” - Brian Will “ In 60 days, we hit our first offer. We did $6 million, then 20, then 30, and then sold the company for $80 million 18 months later.” - Brian Will “ The only person that still thinks, or in my case, still thought that I was that kid laying in the yard crying after I got beat up by my stepdad was me. I was the guy that I did, I had to prove something to.” - Brian Will “ Failure will be inevitable at some point, and learning is optional." - Dwayne Kerrigan “ It's your personal filter that will determine whether you succeed or fail in life.” - Brian Will “ Most of the time, they quit right before they're about to make a breakthrough. That's just a fact.” - Brian Will About Brian Will: Brian Will is a serial entrepreneur, two-time Wall Street Journal bestselling author, and business consultant who has founded or co-founded ten companies across four industries, with combined valuations exceeding half a billion dollars. He is a two-time TEDx speaker and the author of four books including Dropout Multimillionaire and No: The Psychology of Sales and Negotiations.

The rest of the video turns to Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, credibly accused by Jenny Racicot of a violent 2021 sexual assault in reporting Hawk finds credible and Platner denies as categorically false. Hawk points out that Platner's two-minute response video spent only about fifteen seconds on the allegation before thanking voters, and walks through Racicot's CNN interview with Jake Tapper. A Wedgewood poll cited by Mediaite found 75% of Maine voters believe Platner should exit the race if another scandal broke.

Most retention systems flag struggling students through grades and attendance. By the time those indicators fire, many students are already halfway out the door. Elvee's survey of 1,050 U.S. college students shows why: 86% start college highly motivated, 42% come close to dropping out at some point, and only 17% of those who struggle ever request help. In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Raz Dar, CEO of Elvee, whose work with U.S. colleges centers on reading behavioral data for early signals of student disengagement. Drawing on his background in commercial technology, Dar explains how patterns in study time, login frequency, and forum participation reveal disengagement before exam period and before failure reaches the gradebook. He and McNaughton examine why motivated students still leave, why institutions that wait for students to ask for help miss most of the students who need it, and why intervention without follow-up monitoring routinely fails. This conversation is especially relevant for presidents, provosts, student success executives, enrollment executives, and board members looking to move retention from reactive support to proactive, early intervention. Topics Covered Why grades and attendance are lagging indicators that flag students too late What disengagement looks like in behavioral data, and why a single dip can be benign The help-seeking gap: 17% ask for help, 52% try to solve it alone first, 30% never reach out The top dropout drivers: balancing work and school (72%) and mental health or stress (71%) How the most successful institutions build a personalized bond from day one Scaling a dozen advisors across thousands of students through prioritization and automation Real-World Examples Discussed A freshman who skipped two exams under acute stress and recovered because the institution initiated contact Institutions that call students at term start to confirm they have books, Wi-Fi, and a computer Cambridge's bridge week for first-generation students and Yale's required freshman life-skills course The corporate benchmark: turnover above 10% triggers alarm in business, while higher ed absorbs far worse Three Key Takeaways for Leadership Build trust with students before they struggle; outreach in crisis only lands if a relationship already exists. Move from reactive to proactive; only 17% of struggling students will ask for help, so use behavioral signals to know when to reach out and monitor afterward to confirm the intervention worked. Make retention a strategic, measurable KPI from the top, and resource it with a real team. This episode offers a practical look at what becomes possible when institutions stop waiting for students to raise their hands and start reading the signals students are already sending.
