## Detailed Biography

Placeholder for past arc

Dan calls Dillon and Matt on their yacht during "It's Got to Be Ska Part 5," where he informs the hosts that he is at the bottom of the ocean at an ancient form of 7-Eleven. He speaks to Mr. Bumblebee Tuna, a fellow Baby Protein Shake user, and comes to the realization that Mr. Tuna may actually be his grandfather.

Dan calls again during "Green Light Red Light" to talk about his upcoming camping trip to Bastrop State Park. He just turned "double 21" which means that he "can do drugs now." He suggests checking the Standing Stones of Hamarabe to back up his claim. He also reveals that he's from Texarkana, then moved to Shreveport, then settled in Austin, where he bought his first space bicycle to travel universes for 10 years. When the DJs bring up Mr. Bumblebee Tuna, Dan says that Mr. Tuna tried to kill him recently. He also says something about the Scales of Flinoblium.

During "It's Got to Be Ska Part 7," Dan calls into Austin General Hospital to talk about Paul McCartney, the Emperor of the Universe in his galaxy. He also discusses that he has formed a network of private contractors to source spleens to feed his ever-growing zoo of pets. the DJs think this might be a crime syndicate. He calls in during "It Was All a Dream (Theater)" just to provide some spleen to a feverish Dillon.

During "Election Night," Dan explains why he votes for Paul Simon, and his explanation involves a significant amount of spoonerisms, a bad experience in California, and being sent a "Dease and Cesist" letter from the Waits camp.

Dan picks up the DJs during "Return of the Calzoniverse Part 1" to take them on their vacation to the Calzoniverse in his GTV. The DJs also further interrogate Dan on his spleen crime syndicate, which he passes off as a contractor gig, but does admit that his partner in the venture's name is In Crime Criminal.

During "Ska Wedding," Dan informs the DJs that he was recently promoted from an independent contractor to a contracts manager, which means he has a salary and can afford an in-space pool. His parter, In Crime, who most recently went to space jail, cut a deal with prosecutors and is now working for the man.

Dan returns in "Jury Duty Part 3," and he explains that he has been trapped in Time Jail for what felt like 500 years, but was actually roughly 6 months in everyone else's time. During this time, he was able to get off hyper drugs, and also took to knitting, trigonometry, not playing with fire, and mixing colors. He claims to no longer be interested in harvesting organs or running a zoo to harvest organs, and says that his partner, In Crime, is also no longer doing crimes. The DJs commend a penal system that actually rehabilitates people and are excited to hang out with Dan again. He also shows up in "Jury Duty Part 4" to say that he's actually now being sent to Space Jail and provide crucial information about the case the DJs are jurors on.
