Dan's Beach Totem?
I was listening to a recent Bombcast and an Email mentioned Dan finding a mysterious totem on the beach and calling the cops because of it. What was it? Is there a story behind this?

He told the story on this UPF at around 0:47:00.
IIRC: He was hanging out at the beach and came across some beach art (i.e. arranged shells, driftwood, etc) that looked like set dressing from the first season of True Detective. He got freaked out and called the cops, thinking there could have been a body under the cloth in the center.
Hah, ah okay. I don't have a subscription so I can't watch the video, unfortunately.
As much as I enjoy joking about Dan's naivete, I can't really blame him for getting concerned about this.

I grew up in SF. Weird sculptures appear on the beach all the time. Dan is extremely midwestern.
In his defense -- speaking as someone who grew up in a place not unlike Dan's Kansas -- random art installations out in the open, resembling cult sites aren't a common sight to see.
Though, if you watch the UPF segment, Jeff has pretty much the same conclusion about Dan's midwestern-ness as you.
