Dan Gardner on the RunPee App (Hour 2)

About this episode

Dan Gardner discusses the RunPee app and its relevance for moviegoers in the streaming era.

Dan Gardner, creator of the RunPee app, joins Pete and Greg to talk about the surprisingly relatable problem that inspired his business: knowing the best time to leave for a bathroom break during a movie. He shares how the app works, what it’s like running a family-built tech company, and how moviegoing—and apps like his—have changed in the streaming era. Plus, the guys ask the important questions about terrible theater timing and whether a “RunPoop” expansion is inevitable.
