The Bitterest Pill: The Dan Klass Podcast

I talked reality with my agent.  Honestly, if you're trying to make it in show business, reality is the last thing you want to talk about.

(Originally released April 21, 2011) Hudson and his friends took part in the LA County Science and Engineering Fair, and I chaperoned.  No, not my first choice of chaperone, but there […]

We were supposed to go to Hawaii again this year. But, things can change. Try explaining to your 8-year-old daughter that she won't be spending her birthday in Maui after all. Gulp.

I drove to Arizona with my eyes closed and slept with my eyes open...

I went to a football game. Well, two. I think. Jimmy drove us. I "talked" sports and drank a third of a beer. And survived.

I go to a wedding, I go to Michigan and I go back in time. It's good to be back...

I talk about my need for a new coding system, so I know when a woman is interested in me and when she is just being polite. "What's Your '17?'" "Butterscotch?" "Lima bean?"

I was trying to network...

All I wanted was to get some frozen yogurt on a Saturday night, and maybe get my daughter's phone fixed.

We went to Arizona on Christmas Day and our daughter wished for snow. Silly girl...

This is sort of a reprise of Hudson's first appearance on the podcast way back in 2004. In this episode, like back then, we talk Christmas music, except now his voice is much deeper (and apparently so is mine).

We discuss my work on a new sports podcast (no, that is not a typo), sexy old ladies and getting punched in the face...

(April 2011) My daughter got slapped in the face at school by one of her friends.  Then, the next day, a couple of boys tried to test her karate skills […]

I tell a story about having to drive to Burbank to buy a telescope on the same day I had lunch with my old college friend the celebrity priest. I hit a lot of traffic on the way to lunch, so the trip to a lot longer than I expected. Or could stand.

I ended up writing, directing and starring in a short called "The Perv." You know what every great heist needs? A crew...

I went to Upper Michigan to do some acting I've been looking forward to for years. Don't worry, I'm still an idiot. An idiot who apparently isn't sure he can function outside the sprawl of endlessly repeating chain stores and Starbucks that is Los Angeles...

My thumb clicks, my daughter's friend "disappeared," and...I don't know, something else. I already can't remember what I talked about in this episode...

Do you think I should worry that my kids go to school in an official tsunami danger zone? My house is in no danger, but the wave would take out my kids' school, a large marina, and The Home Depot.

I'm fat, hungry and willing to cut off parts of my body.

The story of Podcast Movement '17 continues, after a few brief updates. And, yes, cars can fly.

I start the tale of Podcast Movement, giving my acceptance speech for my induction into the Podcast Academy Podcaster Hall of Fame, and how I am in desperate need of validation. Yes, being inducted into a hall of fame isn't enough...

[EXPLICIT VERSION] Holy cow, it only took 13 years, but finally, my special in-studio guest is...TALLU!?

Hudson is off at college, T is going to high school about 40 miles form where we supposedly live, and I feel like I'm gonna die in the frozen food section of an unfamiliar Ralphs...

I'm waxing nostalgic about horseback riding and bb guns. I grew up in the town that was home to the Crosman BB Gun factory. At least, I think that's what that was...

As you may or may not have heard, I will be inducted into the Podcaster Hall of Fame this August.  Hard to believe, I know.  Apparently, there's a lot to be said for never having the good sense to give up...

My worst nightmare has come true. The one thing I've been dreading would happen since October happened. The good news: I wasn't riddled with anxiety for no reason...

Sorry for the hiccup. Enjoy!

Jeff McCann convinced me to try Bullet Proof Coffee. It's supposed to give you "mental focus." Your results may vary.

I discuss applying for college, Yetis, getting what you pay for (podcasting education wise), and mouse droppings.

PT. 1: What happens when anxiety, procrastination and the Sophomore Slump collide? A short film not ironically entitled "Untitled Compromise." PT. 2: The election. Don't worry, it's pH balanced...I think.
