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)

(Hey it's Danny I was gonna post my switch code if you wanted to add me but just message me instead on one of the various social media apps and I'll give it to you there. Tuesdays 8PM Mario Kart. Anyone welcome)

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.

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?"
