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"

Hooker Boy Studios hits the road and talks with Danielle Mishkit, the singer and co founder of the new Vermont based band Borrow the Bones.
We get to chat with Danielle about the band's first live performance from this past weekend, she tells a story of a National Anthem where she forgot the words, and how as a kid she realized she was good at singing but also worried if it was just her ego telling her that.
Danielle also tells us about the band's name, and it's a really great lesson for life (I said that part. Not her)

Borrow the Bones will have a website soon, and this section will be updated. Danielle says it will be borrowthebones.com

Lead Singer of the band Beeef and Co-Founder of Allston Pudding Perry Eaton comes by and asks Danny to recreate a Taco Bell Cheesy Gordita Crunch.
Perry takes us back to the first Taco Bell trips as a child where it was a Taco Bell/KFC hybrid. We get the classic order, an explanation of what a KFC Twister was, and how Perry's affection for a "secret sauce" might actually just be Ranch Dressing.
Beeef will be releasing a new album next week on Friday September, 6th. We hear about the formation of Beeef, what it takes to make a band stay together for 10 years, and as a special treat at the end we get the full release of the *FUTURE BOSTON BRUINS PUCK DROP SONG "Something in the River"
*Hopefully

Comedian and Writer Amma Marfo comes by and asks Danny to recreate a now discontinued dessert pizza from Pizza Hut.
Amma is now gluten intolerant so that adds a layer when creating a pizza, but we get schooled on the glow up that Cauliflower has had and how that is used for crust. Amma is aware it is not as good as regular pizza dough.
Amma also tells us about a family visit and the two discuss the middle years of the parent/child relationship, the process of renewing a green card, and how Massachusetts State Representative Kevin Honan's wife paid for some supplies Amma was grabbing for volunteer work she does. She didn't even tell Amma her name, just did a good deed and when asked said, "it's not important."
(If google is accurate: Thanks for the supplies, Colleen!)

Comedian and Actor Ahmed Bharoocha comes by and asks Danny to make Ohn No Khauk Swe (Burmese Chicken Coconut Soup)
Ahmed gives us a lesson on where exactly Burma is, and along the way explains a little of his family history. It's a mixed bag of cultures and religions (some of which don't get along) but rather than push himself into one specific box, Ahmed has found himself more comfortable blending his worlds even if some people say "you can't be both."
We learn a little about Ahmed's children as well, and how he's the day-to-day caretaker. A father in that position, he's heard all the classic comments like "mom's day off?" It can be frustrating, but rather than get frustrated he leans into it for a personal giggle, all the while knowing with his kids is where he feels most comfortable.

Food Blogger Alyssa Palladino (@bottomlyssbites) comes by and asks Danny for "Chicken Parm or Eggplant Parm." Why not both?
We jump in with Alyssa telling us how people pronounce her name incorrectly, but not the part of her name you'd think. The two throw out a few nostalgic snacks, how some have fallen off (or never hit the mark to begin with), and Alyssa shares a beloved flavor of ice cream that would be buried deep on a "Most Popular Ice Cream Flavors" list.
Alyssa shifts and tells us about a childhood split between two parents. Yes, there was a divorce, but up until age 9 she lived with her mother. After a tragic accident where her mother passed, Alyssa and her siblings found themselves living with their father and step-mother. At peace with it today, she does look at younger family members who are now the age she was for this traumatic event and think "maybe a 9 year old shouldn't have to deal with that," as well as knowing this has a role in her day to day anxiety.

Food Blogger Vivian Dang comes by and asks Danny to make Thit Kho (braised pork and eggs)
Vivian starts with talking about the dinner entertainment she'll usually watch when eating, and how her video of choice makes it so she never has dinner alone. Vivian tells us too about how her love of food came from a mother that always cooked, and even though she now enjoys life as a food blogger, she herself isn't too big on cooking.
The conversation shifts when Vivian shares a magical 10 minutes she had away from her phone, and the two discuss how she never really has time to relax. Even when she does find the time, Vivian is still thinking about the next work thing to take care of, and after thinking about work for most of her life it's hard to come up for fresh air.

Dinner at Your Place brings The South Shore Boyz some bar style pizzas for what basically is a sleepover where everyone stays up too late and has the giggles.

Musician and Podcast Host/Producer Chuck Staton comes by and asks Danny to make Chicken Marsala and Twice Baked Potatoes.
Chuck starts with the punk band Mohawk days, an unfortunate scalp sunburn, and how even as adults that know better the idea of "you gotta get a sunburn first before you can tan" is a concept people still follow.
We then move into Chuck's love for regional chains. The idea of making a product, cornering a market, and not bending on your morals; the result is a creation that's well liked enough by consumers to provide "comfort" to the creator while not becoming a corporate shell for the sake of excess. Chuck also talks about how today's climate feels like a race to be the first person to say something mean/snarky/sarcastic, and how it basically is just a chocolate cake.

Comedian Caroline Moore comes by and asks Danny to make Ooey Gooey Butter Bars.
We begin with what even is an Ooey Gooey Butter Bar, and quickly move to Caroline's dad finding a passion for bull riding. Caroline would be packed up in the family car for a drive to Kansas from Massachusetts to watch her dad compete in a bull riding event at the state fair, while Caroline herself would compete in a sheep riding event known as Mutton Bustin'
After a little slice of Americana, Caroline tells us about her day job as the burial planner for a cemetery. Having always wanted to work in the Deathcare Industry, Caroline walks us through what it's like being the "Wednesday Addams" kid, the idea of respecting death, and how death is something that happens to everyone yet is a conversation no one wants to have.
Caroline also talks about a few predatory practices in the Deathcare Industry, how you really don't need that 700 dollar urn (unless that's what the person going in the urn ACTUALLY wanted), and how even in death there's things to laugh at.
