Some call it a BONUS episode. This is a TRIBUTE episode. And I am delighted to bring it to you.
This one is for the loyal Dan Time listeners. Well, it's for everyone - but it's especially for the never-miss-an-episode crowd. You know who you are and I appreciate each and every one of you. It's a rather absurd installment today. But without anyone to check me on even my most ridiculous impulses, this baby got the green light.
For years, I have considered the short-lived animated series Dan Vs. to be life-changing for me. I needed that brand of humor at that exact time and it carried me through an odd & uncertain period. It brings me great joy that fans of the show are still posting current and heartfelt reviews — and I decided to capture a few of them here. It was without question an inspiration for this podcast.
You get some nonsense on this "bonus-ode" — me reading select spam messages to the dantimepod inbox — and then you'll hear a series of Dan Vs. reviews. You will either find the humor in some of it, all of it or none of it. Stay tuned (hopefully in 2025) for a Dan Time appearance from one of the creators of the show.
If you're an Amazon Prime subscriber, you can watch episodes of Dan Vs. I believe it is also available now on Tubi, Roku Channel, Plex & Freevee!

Craig Bennett & Jack Spencer are back for another round! As promised, we are putting forth the effort to make The Mugs a regular guest on Dan Time. This is Dan Time like you've never heard it. And your kids do not need to hear this one.
It's unscripted, uncensored, unrefined — some might even say unnecessary. Later in the episode, you'll hear a story that has never been shared publicly. Look for the video version of this episode on the @dantimepod Dan Time YouTube channel this week!
Craig & Jack appear from Peekskill Public House in Peekskill, NY. Search PEEKSKILLMUGS on YouTube, subscribe & check out all their episodes!

Here is the conclusion of my conversation with L.A.-based PR executive Danny Deraney. We spend the first few minutes talking about the current World Series matchup — as well as Danny's memories of games at Dodger Stadium and also the magical '86 postseason involving the then-California Angels.
Danny shares his thoughts on social media and how it can be used in a positive way. He has a perspective on being a good person and enjoying life that will make an impact on you.
We talk a little bit about old television and the SNL "powerhouse season" from the mid-'80s (feat. Billy Crystal, Martin Short, Chris Guest, etc).
Finally, Danny reveals his favorite Buffett song, the KISS connection, working with Ozzy & an exclusive Dan Time "name origin" story!

Completing the Trilogy — here is the payoff of my entirely-too-long conversation with my brother Travis. We "wrap up" about 3-4 different times with these and other topics:
Travis' favorite episodes of Dan TimeLong defunct shopping plaza parking lots & how they could alleviate carpool line problemsExceptionally early holiday displays & Travis' well-reasoned thoughts on a host of other topicsThe CubsWill the show "sell out" or stay underground?? Find out on this final installment.
And be on the lookout for a "keyword" buried somewhere in the episode. The first listener to correctly email the keyword in a subject line email to [email protected] wins the stated prize.
Go Cubs Go.

Did you enjoy PART ONE of the Travis Triology?? It's OK if you haven't heard it — because this trilogy is like one of those books that you can open to any chapter and just start reading.
Travis and I get in to what we really think about social media; what our kids are watching on YouTube; Mastodon; Travis' thoughts on albums releases from September 1999 — which included music from Creed, Christina Aguilera, Garth Brooks, Type O Negative & more! Travis is a principled man and he does not hold back. He tells it like he sees it.
Each part of this VERY SPECIAL Dan Time Trilogy is produced for your listening pleasure and convenience. I don't think any one episode runs longer than 30 mins. So, dig in, see if you can relate, see if you might disagree with us and stay tuned for PART THREE!!

Travis McArdle — yes, that Travis — has returned. It is a conversation so winding, so voluminous, so loaded that I was forced to split it into at LEAST two parts. But to really dignify all facets of this "talk," I decided that presenting it as a Trilogy was not just a good idea, but the only option.
THIS is Part I of a three-part series! Subscribe to hear parts II & III later this week!
"If you call yourself a sports fan," and you land on some of Travis' or my commentary, please do not compare it to the fine analysts who talk about this stuff for a living. Please do not take any stats or historical records as absolute fact (although everything spoken here might indeed be true)! We are having some fun here and Travis puts me to the test when it comes to answers about this Chicago Cubs team.
If you're a dad, a parent or just enjoy listening to two lifelong brothers chat each other up — I think you're going to love this episode. Thanks for making the Dan Time podcast possible. I couldn't do it, and quite frankly wouldn't do it without your support.

Travis is a man of mystery and can only be found via expert internet sleuthing.

John Crow talks about the joy & wonder that is I-285 in Atlanta; the healing power and escape of podcasts; moving as a family & how that affects the kids; a handmade greeting card from his daughter; angry & animated Little League coaches; and a folk-punk band from Vancouver that you should absolutely check out.
It's John like you've never heard him ... like you've always imagined him to be ... like you've never imagined him to be ... for a great many, it's your introduction to this fine gentleman and a great dad.

I can't begin to describe how excited I am to promote #PeekskillMugs podcast - featuring Craig Bennett, Jack Spencer & TW! The brainchild of my old pal Craig, the Mugs talk about sports, culture & lots of nonsense and have been producing quality episodes for over 4 years. Based in Peekskill, NY and frequently recording from outside Oley & Chuck's Rainbow Bar & Grill - the group has changed members a few times, but Craig & Jack have been mainstays since Episode One.
Craig & I reconnect on this episode for the very first time in 14 years. Our friendship began at The Birmingham News in 2006. Craig was an early mentor to me & we trade stories about the newsroom days and personalities that roamed the old buildings. Jack also shares a deeply personal story that hopefully serves as a lesson to anyone listening.
I connected via Zoom with the guys as they recorded from Peekskill Public House.
The Mugs were an early inspiration and precursor to the Dan Time podcast, so this was a big deal to let it rip with TW, Jack & Craig.
You can find their podcast on YouTube & follow them on Instagram - @peekskillmugs
