What would happen if adults started acting like toddlers? In this episode, Dan explores three classic toddler behaviors - shouting everything, changing your mind every ten seconds, and crying over nothing and everything - and imagines what it would look like if those same habits showed up in grown-up life. It's funny, reflective and surprisingly honest. Because as absurd as toddler behavior can be, some of it might just be what we need more of.
