Jack Lawler Launches ‘The Daily Friday’ Podcast to Deliver Absurd Weekly News with a Comedic Twist

The podcasting world just got a whole lot funnier. Comedy maverick and online sensation Jack Lawler has officially launched ‘The Daily Friday’, a brand-new podcast that turns bizarre news, offbeat internet trends, and wild pop culture into a laugh-out-loud listening experience.

Set to drop fresh episodes every Friday, this new series aims to be the perfect way to slide into the weekend—with irreverence, wit, and side-splitting storytelling.

WHO IS JACK LAWLER? THE MAN BEHIND THE MICROPHONE

If you haven’t heard of Jack Lawler yet, you’ve probably encountered one of his viral memes or satirical takes on modern work life. Best known as the mind behind the hit comedy brand @WorkRetireDie, Lawler has made a name for himself by poking fun at the absurdities of corporate culture.

Founded in 2018, @WorkRetireDie has grown to a 300,000-strong community
Specializes in memes, short-form videos, and satire for the digital age
Known for mocking everything from office meetings to corporate jargon

He also pens the successful Daily Friday Newsletter, which has exploded to over 170,000 subscribers in just two years.

WHAT IS ‘THE DAILY FRIDAY’ PODCAST ALL ABOUT?

The concept is as straightforward as it is genius: take the funniest and weirdest headlines of the week and make them even funnier.

From celebrity drama to bizarre internet stories, no topic is too outrageous for Lawler. Expect commentary on headlines like:

Bill Belichick’s 24-Year-Old Girlfriend
Sydney Sweeney’s bathwater-infused soap
Joey Chestnut’s glorious return to the hot dog eating contest

“Our audience doesn’t want another take on geopolitical crises or inflation charts,” says Lawler. “They want the headlines that make them spit out their coffee.”

FORMAT AND STYLE: LIGHT, LOUD, AND LAUGHABLE

Each episode of The Daily Friday is a cocktail of:

Short news segments with absurdist commentary
Guest appearances by comedians and subject matter experts
Rapid-fire takes on viral content and memes

Lawler brings his sketch comedy roots to every conversation, bouncing off guests in a free-flowing, humorous format. No scripts. No filter. Just funny.

THE CREATIVE PROCESS: COMEDY FROM THE GROUND UP

Before entering the podcast scene, Lawler spent over seven years performing with his sketch comedy troupe at Upright Citizens Brigade in New York.

His shows at Caveat, a popular NYC variety venue, helped him refine his improvisational timing and develop a storytelling voice that now translates seamlessly into podcasting.

PRODUCTION POWERHOUSE: ALMOST FRIDAY MEDIA

Backing Lawler in this new venture is Almost Friday Media, the production company known for pushing comedic boundaries. The team has promised content that’s “too insane to print” and “probably shouldn’t exist.”

“There’s stuff we can’t put in the newsletter because it’s just too crazy,” said Lawler. “But on the podcast? No rules.”

WHERE TO LISTEN

Episodes of The Daily Friday will be available starting 18 July 2025 across all major podcast platforms:

Spotify
Apple Podcasts
