Charley and Ella are joined by singer/songwriter/ukulelist Molly Lewis to watch "The Stanchurian Candidate" and travel back to the halcyon days of 2015, when a grifter running for office was funny.

Happy Off-Brand Holiday, everybody! And, since we're all off today (well, most of us) why don't we celebrate with a terrible movie about a completely different holiday (which is relevant in the after credits scene, we promise). We really enjoyed this comedic romp through well worn "cabin-in-the-woods" tropes, and think you will too. So go ahead, get your apple pie ready (or green jello), and press play!

In today's episode, Cracked.com and Last Week Tonight's Daniel O'Brien, author of the book 'How to Fight Presidents,' joins us to create our ideal fictional President of the United States. We discuss the important attributes that make a great president, including their scandals, who would play them in a movie, which band would sue them for using one of their hit songs at a rally and many more. We also do a deep dive into Daniel's podcasting wardrobe and discover that he has beef with Team Tiger Awesome.
Daniel O'Brien's love of presidents started early. As he recounts the story in his hilarious book, How To Fight Presidents, it all started when his American Government professor said on his very first day of class, "Not one of you is ever going to grow up to be president of the United States." He never wanted to be president but when that professor told him he couldn't even if he wanted to, something triggered inside him and he thought... "Oh, yeah? I'll show you. I'm going to be president. I'm going to be president all over this country and there's not a damn thing you can do about it." On today's James Altucher Show, James and Daniel talk about our "badass" presidents and which ones Daniel thinks he could beat up. In 2007, while still in college, Daniel wrote an article that he thought might work on Cracked.com. They bought it and a bunch more. He's now Head Writer and Creative Director of Video having written more than 200 articles to date and his article "The 5 Most Badass Presidents of All-Time" has been downloaded almost 11 million times. James asks Daniel his favorite comedians and immediately he answers, Bob Newhart (and here). He also likes John Mulaney, Bo Burnham's – what, and Tim Minchin (careful, these two are X rated). They cover their favorite comedy books, TV shows, and movies. James' favorite is SuperBad. If you like comedy, then this show is for you. Their list of must-watch shows is almost endless.

As the head writer and creative director of video at Cracked.com, Dan O’Brien writes important potentially Pulitzer-prize winning pieces on topics such as Why Spiderman is a Dick and 3 Insane Spider-Man Movies You Won't Believe Almost Got Made. But Dan O’Brien doesn’t just write about Spiderman. Over the last few years, he has systematically tackled the most important historical question humanity has ever faced: which US President would be toughest in a fight? In his latest book How to Fight Presidents: Defending Yourself Against the Badasses Who Ran This Country, Dan O’Brien summarizes in just a few pages everything you would need to know to beat not just lesser Presidents like Millard Fillmore and Franklin Pierce but truly epic Presidents like Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt. In this episode, Dan, Bryan and Hunter get into a heated debate about which President would win in a fight. Through Dan’s definitive book on the question and occasional use of unreliable internet sources, Dan, Bryan and Hunter draw on historiography, biometric data and their own very limited fighting experience to try and settle this question once and for all. Nature vs Nurture, Which President would win in a fight…all the most important topics are debated on The Bryan Callen Show.Actually, we’d love to hear what you think. Tweet @bryancallen, @huntermaats and @DOB_INC to tell us which President you think would win in a fight.Dan O’Brien is the co-editor of You Might be a Zombie and Other Bad News, the head writer of The De-Textbook and the author of How to Fight Presidents.
