This episode, I talk to former MTV creative executive, producer, and director Billy Rainey - one of the driving creative forces behind the hidden camera prank show, "Punk'd." He pulls back the curtain on some of his favorite pranks from the smash hit and reveals how the show got off the ground after a very rough and litigious start. Billy and I also discuss some of the issues facing the entertainment industry today and I share my thoughts on the strikes and the Barbenheimer phenomenon. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts, or anywhere else you listen to podcasts. A transcript of the episode is below. Thanks!
