Dan sits down with his daughter Eloise for a wide-ranging, heartfelt, and occasionally chaotic conversation that spans pop culture, music, neurodivergence, and the state of the world.

Dan calls Different Journeys CEO Mel Spencer with some really special news.

Dan and Eloise take a deep dive into the social media phenomenon The Basement Yard, unpacking why it’s so addictive and what it says about humor. Dan even writes his own slam poetry! Eloise shares updates on her friend’s band — which Dan is recording — and we reflect on the joy of making original music, even when the band talks a lot between takes.

Then we spiral into our shared hyper fixation: the TV show House. From Hugh Laurie’s brilliance to the show’s messy ethics, we explore why it still grips us years later.

Dan opens up about his lifelong love of Brian Wilson, whose recent passing has left a deep mark. He shares a personal musical tribute piece at the end of the episode — a moment of reflection, gratitude, and musical reverence.

We also get fired up about the complacency we see in today’s world. Where’s the rage? Where’s the accountability? We talk about the need for education, awareness, and action, especially around social justice and neurodivergence.

And finally, we share some listener-submitted Autistic Moments — those beautifully honest, funny, and insightful snapshots of neurodivergent life that remind us why this podcast exists.
