In this episode, we sit down with the hilarious and talented former Division I softball player turned comedian, musician, and viral content creator. Danae opens up about growing up in small-town Morris, Alabama, the early influence of sports on her work ethic and creativity, and whether she was, in fact, the funniest player in the dugout. We trace her path from post-college athlete uncertainty to when she realized comedy wasn’t just a side hustle—it was her next homerun.

Danae shares how she crafts her unique blend of Southern charm with unfiltered humor and outrageous characters, what it’s like building a massive online audience, and the highs and lows of life on her very first stand-up tour. We wrap it up with rapid-fire favorites, Southern sayings, and her take on living Without Compromise.
