34: The End… OR IS IT? - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast
Good news: Fed’s wife had a baby! Bad news: this podcast is pretty much roadkill, at least for now. This final, rambling epic of a session is most likely the last version of this show in its current form. Dan Wakes Up Screaming produced 61 episodes over four years, and we wish we could tell …...

32.2: Breaking News: Melania Trump is an Umbrella - Dan Wakes Up Screaming
You heard it here first, and let us remind her lawyers, before they come for us, how hard it will be to prove that she is not in fact an umbrella. Good luck, counselors. In other news, the wild dogs of Sochi have mostly taken over Russia, Dan is seriously interested in the scent of honeysuckle…

32.1: Fonzie vs. Fonzie - Dan Wakes Up Screaming
This episode was recorded on the first of April, so there is a lot of chat about pranks which is probably no longer seasonally appropriate. Other matters discussed include Fed's eccentric alternatives to coffee cups, Brian's attempted relations with twenty somethings, and Dan's intense emotional...
-
31.2: Exclusive Presidential Interview - Dan Wakes Up Screaming
In what is likely to result in millions of downloads and at least one Pulitzer, we have scored the ultimate podcast get: an exclusive interview with a POTUS. It is not unlike when Mark Maron sat down with Obama, although the president that we were able to get is of decidedly lower quality. Phone...
-
31.1: The Only Living Dan in New York - Dan Wakes Up Screaming
Dan recently celebrated a birthday, which he refers to as "the saddest day of the year." If you see a gaunt, haunted man staring blankly out a Brooklyn window in February, odds are that's Dan. Do us a favor Dan, and dial nine whine whine, 'cause that's the number for the waaaambulance, you know...
-
30: Bad Mood Edition - Dan Wakes Up Screaming
This episode was recorded the day of the Women's March, which already seems like sepia-toned ancient history. Even then, a mere twenty-four hours into our nation's current horror, we were already too outrage-fatigued to notice that Executive Branch necromancers had animated the wretched corpse of...
-
29.2 Chris Gaines Ruined America - Dan Wakes Up Screaming
November and December lasted five years each. Halloween was a lifetime ago. The calendar is crawling. Did it feel this way between Bush's election and inauguration? I can’t remember. It's finally January, the slowest and foulest four weeks of the year, in which that New Year’s fresh perspective...
-
29.1: Dan Cancels Christmas - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast
I haven’t heard from Dan since the news broke about George Michael. I’m picturing him alone somewhere in a sequined motorcycle jacket over a bare chest, sitting on a stool in a dark room under a spotlight, weeping softly as he ignores all my texts. Also I just heard that Carrie Fisher is dead…

28: We Are Hippies Now - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast
This episode was recorded two weeks after the election. We were having a contest to see who could be the most hopeless dude in the room, and it was pretty much a four way tie if you count Griffin. Fortunately for the listener, Dan had the good sense to cut out most of our talk … Continue reading...

27: The Fiftieth Episode Spectacular - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast
In October of 2013, three men sat down in a booth at Halyard’s Bar and turned on a microphone. American culture was changed forever that night, even if America hasn’t quite realized it yet. This is the fiftieth episode of Dan Wakes Up Screaming. That may not sound like a lot of output for three …...

25.2: Is This a Fetish? - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast

-
23.2: The Redneck Version of Space - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast
Spoiler alert: the best part of this episode is when Fed says “I’m sure he’s fine.” That won’t make any sense to you until you hear it, but trust me, it’s just great. Other highlights: Brian talks about the time he was nearly murdered by mice, and Dan admits that he doesn’t know how to … Continue...
-
23.1: Nude With Inner Tube - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast
In this episode we learn that if Fed were rich he would drive around in a Cadillac full of caviar, and maybe some day he would also go to a dentist. Meanwhile, Dan proposes that we refer to fans of the podcast as “the screamers,” and also hears the phrase “mad blunted” for the first … Continue...

21.1: Skinny Dan Versus Big Fat Fed - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast
When he was subsisting on dining hall starch in college, Fed was what Buffalo Bill would call “a great big fat person.” I’m not saying that Fed was fat, but when Fed sat around the house, Fed sat around the house. Also, I’m not that saying Fed was fat, but I heard at the time … Continue reading...

Dan’s kids have lice, Fed’s starting a cult, and Brian is convinced that he is too talented for Broadway. It’s the fifteenth episode of Dan Wakes Up Screaming! This is also our thirtieth podcast in total, so depending on your outlook this is either our Quinceanera or our Logan’s Run. “Many Happy...
-
14.2: Welcome to the Peace Department - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast
Dan recently cancelled his subscription to cable television, which means that this podcast is probably doomed, because we can’t even picture Dan without access to CoziTV. If you see a very thin and panicky fellow trying to rent Murder She Wrote tapes at the library, that’s probably Dan. May God...

13.1: We Disagree With Your Lifestyle - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast

-
12.2: French Bulldog Puppy Apocalypse - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast

10.2: Truman Capote’s Seance For Sexy Singles - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast

10.1: It’s a Shame About Sly - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast
After every episode of this podcast, one of the celebrities mentioned therein has died. No kidding, every one. There could be a non-supernatural explanation for this, for instance: a lot of elderly celebrities come up on this podcast, which is produced by elderly podcasters. But the fellows know...
-

Alternate title: Terrifying True Tales of Public Nudity. Also, former lacrosse wunderkind Fed explains the purpose of a jock strap to the other, less athletically-inclined fellows, who can’t seem to imagine why a person would wear such a thing. This could be our most groin-centric offering yet!…

8.1: Rip Poop Smoke Butt Hiney Hole - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast
Don’t think about the title of this episode. Instead, let it wash over you. Savor the music of the syllables. Mutter it to yourself as you go through your day. What dark truths does this phrase conceal? What can it tell us about ourselves, and the world in which we live? It is for the … Continue...

-
7.1: What Is The Deal With Airplanes - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast
Listeners will probably wonder why the fellows decided to record this episode on the tarmac of what sounds like the world’s busiest airport. They were actually just sitting in Brian’s yard as usual, as some sort of Lost or possibly X-Files situation was going on, and for some reason every…

6.2: Three Terrible Tenors - Dan Wakes Up Screaming: The Podcast
All eleven of our listeners know that the second parts of these episodes tend to come apart a bit. Generally the boys have cracked a second sixer, and there’s a lot of giggling, snorting, and dick jokes. Well, this hour of content is no exception. There is an awful lot of singing this time…
