Episode 082 - Still Tapping at 100: The Joyful Genius of Dick Van Dyke
Highlights of this episode include celebrating the wit, warmth, and unstoppable energy of Dick Van Dyke — the song-and-dance man who’s been making us smile for a full century. On the 100th anniversary of his birth, we’ll revisit how a cheerful kid from Missouri became America’s favorite everyman, from The Dick Van Dyke Show to Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. We’ll explore how his mix of slapstick charm and genuine heart shaped a golden era of entertainment — and why his joy still feels revolutionary in a cynical world. Whether you know him as Bert, Rob Petrie, or just that guy who refuses to age, this episode will help you sound like the most sophisticated guest at your next cocktail party.
