We interviewed Oliver Tree who is changing the music industry by bringing together inspiration from different artists ranging from the Gorillaz to Weird Al to Wes Anderson and more. And he may or not have walked off our podcast set after a few too many jokes 😅 During the interview he talked about his early beginnings on Vine to his "Slime" stunt on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast and why people may think he's a parody or joke, but in reality, he's more serious than 99% of artists with the millions he's invested in his world tour, concerts, and production.

There's a reason why Lance Armstrong is the only person Danny Duncan follows on Instagram. In the first episode of Happy Endings, co-hosts Danny Duncan and Jon Youshaei ask cycling legend Lance Armstrong about his complicated past: why the Tour De France turned into a "knife fight", the use of PED's in sports, how he raised over $500M for cancer research, what actually happened during his interview with Oprah and...Danny may or may not have asked Lance to examine his balls.
