About this episode

Daniel shares a humorous story about being overly sweaty during a family meeting, leading to discussions on TV shows and audition experiences.

Daniel starts out impossibly sweaty, which leads to a story about meeting his girlfriend’s entire family for the first time, hiding in the basement, and realizing he may be remembered forever as “that crazy sweaty guy.” From there, he and Soren debate the greatest cast shows ever, argue for Mad Men, The Wire, and Frasier, and swap audition horror stories, tech avails, and the perfect origin of Cliff Clavin’s know-it-all energy.
