Hidden Holiday Hosts

Who decides if a question is stupid? Why don’t we encourage more curiosity in adults? Why don’t we ask an astronaut about the bottom of the ocean?

Dan & I love to poke & prod and question everything. I have a tattoo that says ‘doubt everything’ in latin. But more people need to maintain and encourage that type of investigation. Unless it’s more fun to not know. Sometimes those are the best dumb questions.

I hope you enjoy us asking our own stupid questions and maybe giving even stupider answers (and some occasionally interesting thoughts) - but it’s fun and that’s what matters!

Cordy & Dan dive right in the deep end in this episode, turning a basic conversation about giving things a way into a deep discussion on the nature of friendship & creativity. Plus it’s a very easy one to find partnerships with!

We hope you enjoy!

Thanks for reading! This post is public so feel free to share it.

Cordy & Dan are two friends who can’t live without dogs. Since college we’ve been petting as many as we can and regularly squealing at cuteness. We celebrate mutts but reminisce about the dogs in our lives, how we could leverage that cuteness for a few brands, and just how good that Futurama episode about a dog is!

In this episode we throw out a blanket and decide what makes a picnic and who should be selling them!

Cordy & Dan dive deep down a rabbit hole exploring the ideas, activations, and celebrations that could come on Alice in Wonderland Day. Celebrate nonsense & absurdity with us on the 4th of July!

Cordy and Dan crack open International Museum Day (May 18th) a holiday dedicated to quiet rooms, strange artifacts, and pretending you understand modern art. They dig into its (real) origins, reflect on personal museum habits (lingering vs. speed-running), and explore how thousands of institutions in 158 countries use this day to reframe what museums actually do. From fake exhibits at home to low-stakes reverence, it’s an episode about what we choose to preserve, and what we pretend to understand.

Cordy and Dan explore National Splurge Day AKA "Treat Yo. Self!" Perhaps unsurprisingly the episode turns into a discussion on consumer behavior and the nature of impulse shopping - from both personal, and professional viewpoints. Finding the balance between a financial treat and delusion, and entertaining inspiration to embrace the day. 

Chaos is always around us. Learn to embrace with Dan's incredible holiday find, and listen as Cordy's brain breaks while he deals with it feeling like therapy!
