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. Someone's mom is accused of making bad pizza, a seltzer is chugged so fast it almost becomes a regurgitated guest, and we get an argument for flushing food down the toilet.
Support:

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.

Comedian Jesse Farris comes by and asks Danny to make queso.
Jesse starts with how she was once known as "Heater Girl." A teenager who wished to fade into the background, Jesse found a warm heater at her high school and like a cat made that her kingdom. The two talk getting mistaken for being younger than they are, and how it's considered "good" for women but "bad" for men.
Jesse is also the daughter of past guest Kathe. The two talk having the same career path as a parent, the difference between walking in their footsteps versus being stuck in their shadow, and Jesse gives some advice on the importance of expressing individuality.
Jesse also went to New York City and, in traditional New York City fashion, saw male genitalia.
Also Jesse I know you're reading this so this is just for you (but it applies to everyone): Go get a glass of water.

Little League Coach Tanner Pratt is called in and after an unfortunate semi finals loss in the playoffs, we celebrate a successful first season.
Tanner tells us about how after a move to where he knew no one he needed something to do, and that something turned into coaching Little League. We hear about Tanner's successes, how the kids taught him about things like leadership and acceptance, and that even though it's Little League, he was going to use game theory and analytics to take his ragtag Moneyball team as far as they could go (while still understanding the fact they're 9 and 10 year olds)
Tanner is also a big Celtics fan and as Game 4 of the 2024 Finals rapidly approaches, the two talk a bit of how the finals have gone so far, and where this team stacks up in terms of other historically great teams.
Support Tanner (by supporting his wife Danielle Mishkit / @dmishkit): Be on the lookout for Danielle releasing music under a new band called "Borrow the Bones"

Graphic Designer Sam Wolfson is called in for this week's episode. Sam did the logo for the podcast, so with the weekly standup show starting July 11th it made sense to go back to him for a poster.
The two talk a few ideas and get a rough draft down for a flyer, but only for about 8 minutes way later in the episode. Sam is a V8 engine of personality, and it's a treat to watch him go. He tells us about a run in he had with an ex at his favorite Skeeball bar, and we get the low down on a new sport called "Buoy" that Sam will be playing later this summer in a tournament broadcast on ESPN 8: The Ocho.
Sam also treats us to a story Danny has heard at least a hundred times, and it only gets funnier every time.

Holiday weekend happened so just me for this one.
I read the Tom Selleck article that Kelly gifted me from her episode, share a personal story about meeting Mac Miller, and there's a special announcement at the end.
As always, thanks for hanging out. It means the world to me.

Hooker Boy Studios hits the road and invades the living room of comedians Owen Linders and Molly Dugan, bringing along Pork Fried Rice and Scallion Pancakes for the new family. They just had a baby!
Before Eamon wakes up, we hear about Beverley the Tennessee Street Dog, her original name, and how it sounded like Owen and Molly kidnapped a Country Music star when adopting her.
Once nap time is over, Eamon joins us, and Owen and Molly talk about settling into a groove. Eamon is now about 8 months old, and the process of him getting here wasn't the smoothest. IVF was a long challenge that tested both parents in different ways, and at points made them feel like maybe this wasn't the way they'd have their child, but resilience and support for one another made them come out the other side a stronger couple, and with an adorable baby having joined the team.

Comedian Corey Rodrigues comes by and asks Danny for Fried Chicken, Collard Greens, and Biscuits.
The two jump right into it as Corey gives some perspective on outgrowing a friend, how categorizing the people in your life can help with expectations, and gives some advice on something you can do if you're always the person reaching out.
Corey also touches on how you can take the first steps to stand up for yourself more often. Whether it's talking to that person you think is cute, asking for a raise, or saying someone cut you in line; the first step already has been taken, otherwise you'd be dead under a rock.

If you're a host about to bring me up having a panic attack because you forgot how to say my last name then listen to the first ~45 seconds of this episode. You're doing a great job hosting too. Did I mention I like your shoes?
And you can absolutely still ask me. It's all good.
After that it's a regular Midnight Snack. It's hard to buy groceries when your accounts are frozen, so an episode will be coming later in the week when I'm free from Bank Jail.
