278. A Substack Star is Born

Dan kicks things off with a wild recounting of his first brush with the future—zipping around town in a driverless Waymo. Imagine the excitement (and a touch of terror) as he sits back, trusting the wheel to a car with no driver. Spoiler alert: it’s a smooth, freakishly calm ride… until it takes him down a one-way street in the wrong direction. Just kidding! But he’ll have you gripping your armchair like you’re riding shotgun.

Next up, Dan raises a glass in memory of the legendary Quincy Jones, who left us this past weekend. Expect no tearful eulogies here—just pure, unadulterated admiration for a music giant whose talent was as vast as his influence. Then, it’s time for some big news: Dan’s back at it with his newest venture, Substack. That’s right, he’s writing again, and he’s got some words for you. Brace yourself.

Finally, we're diving into our fan-favorite segment, “Drinks of the Week,” where Dan gives the lowdown on two new expressions from Woodinville Whiskey (think rich, warm, and ready for winter) and a sweet, sultry liqueur straight out of Southern Spain. Grab a glass, folks—it’s about to get good!
