Musician Austin McCloud comes by and asks Danny for Quinoa. The exact phrase was "I've been slamming Quinoa raw lately but I guess I should have it with something."

Austin talks making a record and what it takes to self produce an album. From the writing, to the recording, the mixing, and mastering, Austin mapped everything out and takes us through the process. We hear about renting an Air BnB instead of a studio because it was cheaper, how mixing songs became Austin's life for a little, and that when it was all said and done, Austin didn't plan for the praise he'd receive for the music.

Comedian Alex Giampapa comes by and asks Danny for a meat patty. Alex is on an elimination diet, he did not grow up eating like a junkyard dog.

Alex and Danny jump in talking about a few venues that have fallen to the wayside, one of which being where Alex shot his first special (that may or may not have involved mind altering substances) Alex continues to examine some changes he's experienced in his career and how sometimes good advice can become obsolete that you have to unlearn, but the wisdom will always be priceless.

Alex also talks about how despite a bleak political landscape we got to experience a Superbowl Halftime show for the ages and how he got in a fight with KFC from Barstool.

Comedian Andrew Della Volpe comes back and defers to Danny for a meal pick. Danny had a craving for something and promises it's not a bit because it would be an awful one.

Some shop talk at the beginning, Andrew and Danny talk about how at points Comedy can feel like chasing a dragon, how frustrating it is to feel like you aren't progressing, and how sometimes the best way to recognize your progression is to go back to Day 1 and look at it zoomed out.

Andrew is getting married in the summer as well so we chat with the husband to be to ask him what are some things he think he'll be good at with the new relationship label as well as some things he might need to work on, but either way, he's ready and excited.

Photographer/Drummer/A few other things Steve Nisotel comes by and asks Danny for a Dairy Queen Blizzard.

A special place in his heart, Steve recounts how this Blizzard flavor came to be, the friend that created it, and how this has become a fond but unfortunate yearly tradition to honor that friend.

Steve also talks about drumming in a few different bands, running his own photography business, and the two discuss how Mario Kart changed both of their lives (this is not a joke)

Comedian/Photographer/Content Creator Jeremy Cangiano comes by and asks Danny for Chicken Cutlets, Mashed Potatoes, and Corn.

After laughing about their past few social misses, Jeremy kicks it off talking about growing up in North Reading, his days working in a diner, and how he can still think of that "wet smell" he had on him after a shift.

Jeremy tells us also how he's feeling like a 2.0 version of himself. After a long road looking inward at gender identity, Jeremy has finally arrived to a point where he feels like he's speaking truth about who he really is, making the future a very exciting path.

"Dinner at Your Place?" starts 2025 the same way we enjoyed many days in 2024; hanging out with comedian Ryan Ellington.

The two share some brownies and talk about the holidays throwing a curveball that sparked a sibling argument, how this time of the year feels different as you get older, and we hear Ryan is going to Japan to find a (new) wife. Sorry, Audrey.

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 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.
