You meet someone you really like and go on a great first date. You have common interests and enjoy each other's company. The second date goes just as well, and it feels amazing, almost too good to be true. And then, on the third date, they abruptly bring up something important that you need to know? Do you simply reply with "Oh, okay"? And then they just drop this personal stuff bombshell of them being I don't know a porn star in the 90s was the ass on the Gerbers baby powder commercial.

Can we overcome conflict and build a relationship with someone regardless of their past and personal interests? This episode explores this question as well as discussing comedy films from the early 2000s, including Pixar and DreamWorks movies like Finding Nemo and Shrek. It's a long episode, but it's filled with enjoyable laughter and thought-provoking questions about relationships. Enjoy!

About your host

Dave lennon

Lost in the Groove is my space to explore the real, raw, and unexpected. I started this podcast because I was tired of feeling like nothing ever changes. My therapist once suggested, I write letters to the government to express my frustrations. Then I thought, "Why not create a podcast instead?" Here, I can talk about what I want, with whoever I want, no matter their beliefs. For me, it's about having honest conversations,. Breaking down walls, and getting people to think beyond the surface.

I grew up in a blue-collar family in the suburbs outside New York City, raised as an Orthodox Jew. Leaving the religious community in 2017 was a pivotal moment for me. It allowed me to embrace my identity as an artist, and chart my own path. Who I am today, and what this podcast represents, is deeply tied to my journey. Leaving a community that was a cult; still is. Discovering authenticity, creativity, and independence in myself.

I’m a car enthusiast, an artist, and someone who thrives on creative expression. From old-school rap, and psychedelic rock. To vintage muscle cars and European classics. I’m all about the things that inspire passion.
My co-host, Karissa Andrews, joins me for American Groove. Our segment on stoner culture, and life’s weirder twists. She’s an incredibly talented makeup artist, aesthetician, and candle maker. She brings a spice, pizazz, and realness to every conversation.

This podcast isn’t about chasing fame or conforming to trends, it’s about the experience. I want listener, whether they’re driving home, cooking, or just unwinding. To feel like they’re part of something real. Lost in the Groove is my way of staying true to myself, while connecting with others. learning, and having fun along the way.
