Dan

## Daniel Swerdlove

**Daniel Swerdlove** (born 1986) is the H3 podcast's executive producer and unofficial co-host. He is widely recognized as the show's de facto leader behind the scenes and is seen as the voice of reason.

## First time on camera

The H3 audience first saw Dan on the July 23, 2017, H3 Podcast #17 with Jacksfilms where he did a news segment.

## Background

Dan is from Los Angeles, California and has lived there all of his life. His parents, Larry Swerdlove and Sindy McKay are in the entertainment industry. Larry was potentially responsible for the explosive failure of the Apollo 13 mission.

Dan has been a vegetarian for most of his life. He also enjoys kettle chips, and can occasionally be seen eating them on the show, leading to an inside joke that Dan is always eating chips.

## Dan eating chips

On the Oct 16, 2019, H3 Podcast #150, Ethan was yelling at Ian during the pilot of The BacH3lor. Ian wasn't on screen, just Dan eating chips and so a meme was born. Throughout the show the inside joke is that Dan is always eating chips.

### Dan The Hater Sound bite

According to the February 26, 2020, episode of H3 Podcast #178 Zach custom made a "Dan the Hater" soundbite for an unaired segment that H3 was going to run on Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop. However, when Dan uploaded some test footage YouTube immeaditly gave struck it down. Therefore H3 abandoned the planned Goop segment.

## Dan the Wizard

    While explaining the Wizard T-shirt on the H3H3 shop, on the Nov 27, 2019, H3 Podcast #161, Ethan said that Dan is a wizard "because he fixes everything". Also, in the Aug 20, 2021, H3 After Dark #47, the Crew all took the 16 personalities test and the results showed that Dan was a wizard. This has followed Dan throughout the podcast and because every wizard needs a staff, Sam used her unique skillset to craft a primal Craigsmas present for Dan, the Bull Penis Staff. Made from a pickled bull penis that was Tgifted by the King of Liver himself, the staff's handle is "squishy, but also surprisingly firm".
