This was a refreshing deep dive of an interview with Danny. He sounded very inspired throughout the entire talk. Very cool.

Built his own Geiger counter... kept radioactive isotopes in his bedroom... why was I not surprised to discover that he was the original radioactive Boy Scout lol. He should be dead from cancer but instead he’s bizarrely healthy for his age, and still addicted to radiation seeing that he gets full-body X-rays every year and even when he goes to the dentist has a CAT scan done of his skull for shits and giggles. He’s living proof of the theory of radiation hormesis.
