No More “S” Word:

  • Once the topic of skiing and snowboarding is off the table Danny talks to Amie about the blessings of staying put in the last seven months and getting to witness things like spring in Vermont and summertime at home in Tahoe. 

  • From there, Danny tells the hilarious and romantic story of getting engaged after dating his fiance for eleven years. 

  • After that, Danny explains where his Frendly Gathering Music Festival stands today and the two discuss dealing with trolls and negativity on the internet

  • Then, Danny talks about the highs of getting engaged and embracing life when he’s stuck in one place and the lows of witnessing how divided people are right now. 

  • To wrap the episode up, Danny explains his love/hate relationship with his “green machine”, which is a  1979 G-Class Mercedes van.
