THE PODCAST Ep. 20 / MY RETURN FROM THE FOOTHILLS

Late night recording. Just me. I do a whole recap of my trip to WV/VA. Very content fruitful trip. Hope I don’t ramble too much. 

Should have a new show tomorrow w/ Sextia N’eight. Rick is on vacation.

Omg. I’m going back through podcasts to listen to them. I love so close to Wheeling! Did you stay at wheeling island? 🌴 A dead mall you could do is in Steubenville, Oh!!! That mall is so dead! It’s not horribly far from Wheeling!

I have fond and creepy memories of coal country - my relatives were coal miners in SW PA - Morgantown was the big city - GREAT place!

Sarah Parviz

Love the singing Dan haha :D

I've just spent the last 2 weeks listening to all of these podcasts, you're doing a tremendous job with them and I couldn't think of a better patreon perk. Anyway, your attitude to visiting tourist attractions really struck a nerve with me as I am exactly the same way and I find it super obnoxious that so many places either force or strongly encourage you to go on a group tour when you just know you'd get so much more out of the visit if you were left alone to do your own thing.

Michael Buchan

Definitely!

Dan Bell

Orlando is okay. I’d rather live in Morgantown. Nice place and I love the mountains!

Dan Bell

I need to definitively see a ghost. I’ve seen things out of the corner of my eye in some of these places but nothing concrete. In September, I may get lucky.

Dan Bell

Only 3 pounds of sweat. The other 17 was feces.

Dan Bell

I love WV. Wheeling is actually an awesome little town. I’m going back in September. Can’t wait!

Dan Bell

Also, you should go to Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, WV the next time your in the area!

Rebekah Richards

We just moved from Morgantown to the Orlando area and I miss WV sooooo much!

Rebekah Richards

What would it take for you to believe in ghosts or the supernatural?

Steph Apple

Did Dan sweat off 20 pounds filming these recent dirty rooms?

Thanks for visiting my hometown and speaking so highly of it. I grew up just north of Wheeling, but went to high school there. It is an incredibly depressed place, even compared to 20 years ago. I spent many an hour at the casino and dog track, my father worked there for many years! I don't have family there anymore, and only 1-2 friends still living there but I still find myself going back 1-2 times a year just to spend a few days and enjoy the atmosphere. There's an effort to revitalize the downtown area, I really hope things start to turn around. I really look forward to seeing your video and polaroids!

Looking forward to the Moundsville video! I'll be visiting an old prison in Dublin next month. Hoping to get good footage but it's a guided tour so chances are slim.

This is my favorite podcast to date. It was like an hour long "Quiet Time" and I loved every second.

sisette

Rick is on vacation from what? LOL jk Rick

Pete Drucker

Oh I am exactly the same way, I can relate to that! For me relaxing is being on an adventure, not going somewhere and sitting around. I love exploring and seeing new things. You are doing it right Dan. If one invests the time and money to travel at least go and explore the place you are going too. Life is only so long and we spend a lot of it just sitting around at home so... As for smoking, I can relate to that too, unfortunately :(

Sebastien Bolduc

I've been studying bipolar for thirty years. It's always a fresh perspective. Thanks,

G. Geef

I've been stuck in a funk all day but I wanted to thank you for thinking of us and sharing a podcast because you genuinely gave me a moment of comfort and peace I desperately needed. I'm glad your trip was good and you indulged yourself for once. You more than deserve it :)

Elaine

I am always hoping you will play something from Sparks when you play us out or at show open. Loving the podcasts!

Ben Grikstas

Loved the Fernando story....I can just visualize the looks you got from the crowd....if Rick was there, he would have gotten out in the crowd and started to sing and dance....LOL! So glad you had a great time and got so amazed you go so much in.....and so happy you got a massage (I am an LMT)!!!! It does a world of good to have some time for yourself and we should all do it more often!!!

Maria

Our founding fathers wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

Catherine

I love when you travel to different places. I'm glad you did a podcast. I really look forward to these. Thx Dan 💜

Donna Marie

I appreciate your frank and natural Patreon updates Dan. I understand why so many people do it - marketing is what it is - but it’s such a relief to not be “sold to” for once. It’s a subtle part of the Dan Bell “experience” but I think it matters!

Hilary Elizabeth Barrett

Drive-by Fernandos.

"okay, Dreama."

In honor of “Fernando,” I’m cleaning my house to ABBA. :)

Carrie Walters

I am glad that you got some R & R and back to your happy place.

Painting with Lori

Dan singing at the beginning is 10/10 lol

Patrick Sharp

Glad you had a nice little trip Dan! Is it weird that I find it comforting and also entertaining just listening to you talk for an hour? Lol

Emily

Love that song ;)
