Comedian and actor Joel McHale joins Dan for a nostalgic, caffeine-fueled conversation that spans improv roots in Seattle and the magic of s’mores around campfires. Joel shares how theater and sports shaped his career, why he's doubling down on Seattle’s Best Coffee’s new roast-inspired marshmallows, and what his dream camping trip would look like—featuring Bear Grylls, RuPaul, and Eddie Vedder. With heartfelt stories, Northwest memories, and plenty of laughs, this chat blends humor, history, and a surprising amount of marshmallow talk. Grab a coffee and settle in—this one’s packed with personality.
