Summary

Daniel O’Brien, writer for Last Week Tonight and original gangster, joins Bridgett and Sarah for a candid discussion of how teenagers fall for the allure of playing the role of a protagonist in a tragic romance. Daniel starts with a tale where a teenage crush overheard his undying love via speakerphone and the punishment only endures for the next several years. Don’t worry, Daniel, you all have us fooled, we think you’re a real catch. Maybe leave your love sonnets in the box of notebooks you keep in the darkest corner of your closet, though.

0:51.5	thing. I knew in my heart that Pennsylvania was the state, but Philadelphia and
0:56.9	Pittsburgh also sound like states. So sometimes I would say like Pittsburgh is in
1:02.5	Philadelphia or like Philadelphia is in Pennsylvania. Like I would get the three of
1:07.0	them kind of mixed up in those ways. Sure. And with us is he has a co-host of
1:16.2	podcast with our friend, Soren Buie, called Quick Question. He used to work at a

1:39.0	confessed a crush that I had to that crush because I didn't realize I was on
1:43.5	speakerphone. Oh, that's painful. Did she talk? Like, did she, was she like,
1:50.4	hey, I'm here? She did. Yeah. So it was the summer between eighth grade and
1:56.4	freshman year. And we had just gotten our schedules mailed to us for the fall
2:01.4	marketing period. So I'm very old. We used to get our schedules mailed to us. And
