When it comes to his career, he pursued radio, but never thought he\u2019d end up co-hosting a weekly podcast (let alone a podcast called \u201c2 hippies and 1 drunk.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do the podcast with two other fellow stand-up comic friends,\u201d he says. \u201cWe\u2019re about to take it on the road starting January 1 and travel the country in 2022 podcasting and performing stand-up in all 50 states.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While he says dancing is \u201cway beyond [his] norm or comfort zone,\u201d Eric has been a celebrity dancer two other times. Through those experiences, he was surprised to learn that he enjoys dancing. Now, he\u2019s hard at work on his third routine which will be performed to a Frank Sinatra-style version of his favorite Kesha song.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the past I have raised the most funds both times which of course is most important, but I want to WIN for our dance routine,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m very competitive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eric first learned about Lighthouse several years ago when he was doing a podcast episode to raise money for local charities. He\u2019s done several podcast\/fundraisers since to benefit Lighthouse and help fight hunger and homelessness in our community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love what they do at Lighthouse so much,\u201d he says. \u201cThey are not just trying to offer a quick fix or a band aid, their goal is to get people off the streets. It\u2019s such a great organization. If I didn\u2019t feel that, I wouldn\u2019t be returning for a third time as part of Dancing with the Stars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can catch Eric\u2019s performance during this year\u2019s Flagstar\u2019s Dancing with the Stars virtual event Saturday, November 20.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":3675,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"xn-wppe-expiration":[],"xn-wppe-expiration-action":[],"xn-wppe-expiration-prefix":[],"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"news_categories":[121],"class_list":["post-3674","news-items","type-news-items","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news_categories-events"],"acf":{"photo_gallery":{"gallery":[[]]}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Meet the Dancers: Eric Fadie - Lighthouse<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/lighthousemi.org\/news-items\/meet-the-dancers-eric-fadie\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Meet the Dancers: Eric Fadie - Lighthouse\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Podcaster and Flagstar\u2019s Dancing with the Stars dancer Eric Fadie has a penchant for surprising himself.
