The Enigma of Dan

This podcast is like a warm cozy brunch with a loved one!

WHO IS DAN??

there are two types of listeners of dan 4 lyfe: those who have seen the film dan in real life and those who haven't.

i imagine that if you have, you might "identify" with nick. he excitedly shows something he cares about to his friends and gets to see their reactions and discuss it. it's almost magical to share art that you care about with your friends. you can feel the specialness(is that a word?) of the moment through the phone when you listen.

but if you're like me, you identify with lauren (and so far erin!) - you get to experience new art and talk about it with someone who cares about it but is never ever pretentious. that's also magic! don't tell any Men this, but I LOVE when people teach me about things that they care about. I love lauren's and all other guests' excitement to learn about "the seminal text."

the old, golden fondness that nick brings coupled with the fresh perspectives that lauren + guests bring always makes for worthwhile listening. nick makes it impossible not to be utterly fascinated by the mystery of what this movie is. he's funny and warm-hearted and I trust him implicitly so i'm gonna go along for whatever ride we get taken on.

5 pancakes for Dan

Astoundingly specific and wildly funny.
