Comedian Kyle Prue has partnered with iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players on a new weekly podcast called Get Worse with Kyle Prue, launching with two episodes on October 6. The show is an “advice” program where Prue answers listener questions while interviewing comics, philosophers, criminals, experts, and more. The catch: the advice is never intended to help.
Prue’s Viral History
Prue’s viral series How to Piss Off Men earned him a large following online, with hundreds of millions of views across social platforms. That body of work reached its peak with a handbook that debuted as an instant New York Times Bestseller. He has also written the Feud Trilogy — a series of young adult fantasy novels — and created and starred in the darkly comedic web series Rabbit.
The podcast keeps up its pattern of unusual adventure, with Prue sometimes appearing on camera alongside his co-producers Max Michalsky and Aaron Klein. Among the guests joining him are comedians, actors and content creators including Kel Cripe, Grant Gibbs, Vinny Thomas and more.
The First Two Episodes
The initial episode pairs Prue with comedians Hope Carew and Andrew Stier for a wide-ranging discussion that includes spreading the gay agenda through football, Thanksgiving nudism, and how to blackmail coworkers. Episode 2 brings together actor, writer and comedian Sophia Sherman with special guest Count Dracula, who will examine 400 years of dating and situationships.
“I can think of no better home for ‘Get Worse’ than Big Money Players and no better proverbial stepfather to my show than Will Ferrell.”
A trailer for the show is available to watch above.
Prue’s Network Home
Deadline reported that Prue said he is “so excited to be the first person to ever start a podcast.” He went on to add the line quoted above, thanking his team, producers and psychiatrist.
The Network Behind the Show
iHeartPodcasts President Will Pearson spoke about the partnership. “We are excited to have Kyle join us on our Big Money Players Network,” he said. “Whether through his viral content, bestselling writing or now podcasting, Kyle has consistently found creative ways to connect with audiences. ‘Get Worse’ showcases the comedy that has made him a standout voice online, and we can’t wait for listeners to experience that same energy, spontaneity and laughter on his weekly podcast.”
Brillstein Entertainment Partners, CAA, and Lichter, Grossman, Nichols represent Prue.
What Makes the Show Work
The central appeal of Get Worse is its deliberate refusal to be helpful. Prue’s earlier work has built a reputation for pushing buttons, and the podcast carries that impulse over into a format where giving bad advice is the whole point.
| Episode | Guests | Topics |
|---|---|---|
| #1 | Hope Carew, Andrew Stier | Spreading the gay agenda through football, Thanksgiving nudism, blackmail |
| #2 | Sophia Sherman, Count Dracula | Dating, situationships |
The Bottom Line
Kyle Prue’s comedy podcast Get Worse mixes football, nudity and blackmail jokes into a show about bad advice. A man who has spent years pissing people off online hosts it. The trailer is worth watching, and the first two episodes land on October 6.
