Solo one to keep the ball rolling. Stories include making a motorcycle friend, a (literal) Hall of Fame interaction, and watching someone become the Joker at an airport.

Thanks for hanging out.

Comedians Kathe Farris and Jesse Farris return together! Friday Night Pizza and Gilmore Girls was a tradition, so the two asked for a Peppers and Onion Pie.

We get a fun look into what it's like when a parent and their child are pursuing the same craft, how Kathe handles seeing Jesse deal with a tough crowd as her mother, and Jesse gives some wonderful insight to the idea that if you're arguing with your child, having a difference of opinion, and feeling frustrated; that could be a good thing. "It's okay to sometimes not like each other if most of the time you like each other."

Kathe and Jesse also bring gifts and a "guess who got which" game turns into a contest that sees Danny have to choose a winner, and the two pitch why each should be crowned the victor. It goes as well as you think it does, and definitely no one's feelings get hurt.

My sister is having a baby today (11.13.24)

We went back to our youth and played a game of Mario Party to celebrate this new chapter. Along the way, Meg tells us about some foods she couldn't get enough of, why she hopes her child isn't a sporty one, and how the character Ninji, a pudgy entity that waddles and has two giant red buttons on its chest, is the pregnant woman spirit animal.

Support Meg:

Just send good thoughts. She also said go buy Mario Party cause it's really fun.

To Gee: You've always been the best big sister, and I'm beyond excited to watch you fit into this new shell you've been wanting. I love you

Allston Pudding editor Harry Gustafson comes by and asks Danny to make Pasta Carbonara. Harry is the host of Allston Pudding Presents: The Puddcast; a podcast centered around interviewing musicians and shedding a light on the homegrown talent of Boston.

Harry talks about his 8 years for the music blog, how its grown from the days of writing about only one genre of music, and his willingness to chase a new interest has lead him to wear many different hats over his career.

That willingness to chase a new interest is something Harry attributes to his dad. When he passed, Harry needed an outlet for grief, and found it in photography. What started as therapeutic has become a blossoming skill; one that while he can't share with his dad in a traditional sense, Harry knows he's there.

Comedian and Content Creator Zach Remi (@newenglanddad) comes by and asks Danny to make blueberry pancakes. Zach also brought syrup tapped from his farm as well as a mixed berry jam from bushes on the property.

A New England boy his whole life, Zach talks growing up in New Hampshire, the joys he got from teaching, and how he only stopped teaching to be a stay at home Dad; a role he's absolutely loving, but is a different job from the other men of his life.

Zach then tells us about the farm, and how being outdoors with something to do is what keeps him sane. What better place for continued projects than a farm? Zach talks about life with chickens and how he hopes one day to have a flock of sheep, but the labor of love right now belongs to the sugaring process for maple syrup. Zach takes us through the process he's done four years in a row now where each year he's asked himself, "am I really gonna do this again?"

After an unexpected week off, Hooker Boy Studios is back. Musician Joshua Sweet comes by and asks Danny to recreate Buffalo Wild Wing's Asian Zing Sauce (served over Tofu Nuggets)

A vegan now, Josh talks about how in the teenage years this sauce over chicken wings were so tasty he'd even eat the bone. Not one to shy away from food, Josh also tells us about the time he did the one chip challenge and was convinced he was dying.

Josh tells us as well about his wandering path through the Music industry. Starting as a drummer, Josh now is a singer and bringing back the days of in your face front men. Whether it's through the music or having beer spat at him by a fellow musician, Josh wants the reaction.

And if you tell him he should stop? Well that wouldn't be very Rock and Roll now would it?

Designers Hannah Richards and Tyson Buggs return to the studio to answer a very important question Danny has for them: What exactly is the gig I said yes to on October 18th?

Hannah is the co-founder of Heart and Soul Studios, an organization that gives young creatives in Boston a space to showcase their work. For their kick off event, it's only right they do a fashion show. Hannah and a group of hand picked up and coming Boston designers will showcase pieces from their collection, and Danny was lucky enough to be asked to partake as a model.

Hannah and Tyson share some insight on the start up cost to sewing, talk about some of the special machines they have, and what are some of their favorite (and not so favorite) materials to work with. The two also talk about what it's like to work closely in a business manner with their romantic partner, and how it can actually be pretty great if you have the right person.

Billy Baker is back and brings news of a bun in the oven about to burst. Will has had a lot on his plate as he and his wife prepare for the baby's arrival, but now it's t-minus 30 days till launch and we couldn't be more excited.

We hear the story of the positive pregnancy test, how Will was in the doghouse for missing a premium window of time, and that at points during the process he felt like a sore used up lime.

It seems like a ton of people right now are pregnant and so with that, Danny took the opportunity to ask his mom for parental advice. For ~30 years she's been a pretty solid mom, and she wrote down a top 10 list of parenting tips she came up with for a series that she has called "Ask an Old Lady"
