Dan Schreiber

Comedy troublemakers Dan Schreiber ( No Such Thing As A Fish , The Museum of Curiosity , author of The Theory of Everything Else ) and Andrew Hunter Murray ( No Such Thing As A Fish , The Naked Week , writer for Private Eye , author of A Beginner’s Guide to Breaking and Entering ) join Jameela for an hour of friendship chaos, gig disasters, and stories that make you grateful for every bad choice you didn’t make. Dan kicks things off with childhood misunderstandings, a karaoke nightmare involving his kid and the unedited lyrics of Grease Lightning, and one of the most catastrophic date-night micro humiliations we’ve ever heard. Andrew brings the bouncer years, the book festival where Jude Law mistook him for staff, and a zoo gig so bad the audience preferred to stare at fish. Plus, a Misery Loves Company story about a disastrous hook-up with a neighbor. If you like friendship that borders on warfare, ancient fish upstaging comedians, or men questioning their entire identity in front of Jude Law, this one is for you. Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please , you can also find her on Instagram , TikTok and YouTube . Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson . Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#45 – Dan Schreiber: Beer Flavored Ice Cream Beers with Engineers merchandise - www.beerswithengineers.shop Dan is an architect in Green Bay but had always wanted to be a farmer. Stroh’s was the local macro-brewery when Dan and Bert went to college. They made ice cream, then and still do today. Do corn farmers put feed corn around the perimeter of their field? Bert and Dan rode a mechanical bull in Kentucky Felt like an architect on his second job. Dan thinks architects adopted CAD at about the same rate as engineers If he was born ten years later, he probably would have gone into IT. Early CAD was tough to use. To call yourself an architect, you need to be licensed. Not so for engineers. Licensing exam – 9 sections. The last one was 12 hours long. Are “no scale” and “not to scale” different? Antoine Davis (who?) and Pete Maravich. Throwing Hershey bars onto the basketball court. It is awesome going through a building you designed. Go to Marquette, MI to see his work. The Great Bridge: The Epic Story of the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge , by David McCullough Using a tree as the center column of your building. Not a farmer today, but enjoys gardening. You can tap butternut trees. Makes a smooth, buttery syrup. In high school, Dan went into the engine compartment to work on the engine. T-shirts at www.beerswithengineers.shop .

Historian and author Kathryn Hughes and No Such Thing As a Fish presenter Dan Schreiber recommend favourite books to Harriett Gilbert. Kathryn chooses Flaubert's Parrot by Julian Barnes, an exploration of the French writer's life in the form of a novel. Dan's choice is very different - John Higgs taking on the conceptual artists and chart toppers The KLF. Harriett has gone for Michael Ondaatje's novel Warlight, set in a murky and mysterious post-war London. Presenter: Harriett Gilbert Producer for BBC Audio Bristol: Sally Heaven

Dan Schreiber is a dedicated fitness enthusiast and a former athlete who enjoys the simplicity and effectiveness of outdoor exercises. With a philosophy rooted in maximizing training efficiency, Dan appreciates workouts that integrate both strength and conditioning without the confines of traditional gym settings. Embracing the freedom of outdoor activities, he often engages in HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training), plyometrics, and hiking to maintain a robust fitness regimen. His athletic background has significantly influenced his views on training methodologies. He often reflects on the traditional approach of separating weight training and field drills in sports training, advocating for a more seamless integration of these components. His experience led him to develop Wearbands--innovative training aids that combine strength training with functional movement, ensuring a comprehensive workout aligning with the natural movements experienced in sports and everyday life. In his pursuit of fitness, Dan is always searching for or creating tools that simulate the demands of athletic performance while simplifying the process, enabling him to stay active, engaged, and perpetually ready for any physical challenge. Regarding pricing and customization, Dan states, "We have different packages, but things start at roughly $100. We have a youth package for $80. We have different resistance levels as well, which when compared to the competition, they try to do the one-size-fits-all and compete on price. If you're going to put resistance bands on a body, it can't be one size fits all. If you do that, it's only going to work for a very narrow range of people. So we create multiple levels." Key themes discussed Resistance bands activate entire kinetic chain effectively. Questioning patent protection and promoting marketing over legal action. Valuing fair prices for athletic product results. Entrepreneurship, NIL, grassroots marketing, industry's future. Patience in business for long-term success. A few key takeaways: 1. Dan's journey developing WearBands highlights how personal challenges can lead to innovative solutions. His transition from college athlete to a busy father seeking efficient workout solutions exemplifies how personal needs often drive innovation. 2. WearBands is aimed at integrating resistance training seamlessly into everyday movements. This product emphasizes enhancing performance without altering natural movement patterns, intending to engage the whole kinetic chain. 3. Dan emphasizes the importance of patience and focus on generating profits. This approach ensures sustainability and longevity, avoiding the pitfalls of chasing unprofitable or premature expansion. 4. Dan also mentioned his strategic shift from broad online advertising to targeted outreach, to specific retail environments and sports associations. This demonstrates a focused approach to growth, doubling down on sectors that show the most promise. 5. Another recurring theme is the challenge of educating the market about an innovative product like WearBands. Dan chats about his experiences of gradual adoption among professionals and the importance of having credible endorsements and scientifically backed data. Click here to download transcript .

Dan Schreiber was born in Hong Kong, grew up in Sydney, and moved to England at the age of 19. Once here, Dan was hired as a researcher on the BBC panel show QI . And it was a job that Dan was born to do - one that combined his love for facts and comedy. In 2008, Dan launched The Museum of Curiosity on BBC Radio 4 and, after that, came No Such Thing As A Fish - a hugely popular podcast that's clocked up more than 500 episodes and been downloaded 470 million times. Last year, Dan turned his forensic brain to the fringes of history - taking a voyage into the world of the weird with his book The Theory Of Everything Else . He believes that, if you dig deep enough, nearly everyone holds a batshit belief. And he now encourages people to open up, and share their own, in We Can Be Weirdos . A chart-topping new podcast in which Dan speaks to scientists and historians, as well as guests from the world of entertainment. In this fun and freewheeling conversation, he chats to Jon about his unconventional childhood, the mentors who helped shape his career, and the weird stories that get his brain whizzing.
