He currently hosts the podcast “Modern Day Philosopher” where he and fellow comedians like Bill Burr, Maria Bamford and Lewis Black delve into some of life’s deep questions and “Tipping the Scales,” a podcast about body image and health. Daniel has performed stand-up comedy around the world and has even done a TedX talk! His autobiographical comic book series “Fair Enough” as well as his two albums “Some Kind of Comedian” and “The Nicest Boy in Barcelona” are available through his website. And a new installment of “Fair Enough” is coming out soon.
This week Mark, Lowell and Daniel talk about a wide variety of topics including Daniel’s upbringing and feelings of being an outsider, the evolution of his relationship with Judaism, how he ended up with a podcast before most people even knew how to listen to one, and some great stories about his close friendships with monumental comedians Jackie Mason and George Carlin. Daniel opens up about his struggles with his weight, and the guys ponder one of life’s most intriguing mysteries: was manna high in carbs?
