Ryan Ellington - Maybe One Day I'll Have a Patreon
When multiple cancellations happen, sometimes you have to call in your knight in shining armor to save the day.
Ryan Ellington hangs out for Game 1 between the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers for the NBA playoffs. This is the new record for most names cut in an episode, and there probably should have been more.

<...Glenn Ginish - The Second, But First Good One
Covid free and in the studio again, Dinner at Your Place is back on track. Comedian Glenn Ginish comes by and asks Danny to make Pierogis in honor of his Babcia.
Glenn is now many years sober after a wild battle with drugs. We bounce around the timeline first talking about how the word for Grandparent in any language sounds loving, hearing about Glenn's aptitude for swimming, and how he and Coach Dad butted heads.
Glenn also describes two different upbringings between him and his sister. One where he knew the...
Midnight Snack - A Covid Phone Call with Susan Cascone
You can cook for people with one arm, but you can't cook for people if you have Covid. Plus we get an update and learn Susan's knee is in fact broken.
Just something to help you pass the time with. I hope you don't have a broken knee and / or Covid.
Liam Martin - The Good Soldier
Hooker Boy Studios is on the road this week!
Former Anchor for WBZ-TV (and now Co-Owner of Newsmaker Marketing) Liam Martin welcomes "Dinner at Your Place?" into his home and asks for a fluffernutter. Up top we hear a little about Liam's grammy, how she had the ability to create a perfect ratio of peanut butter to fluff, and how a fluffernutter better be messy. Kiki, his dog, also ended up having one. That's my bad.
A Massachusetts Man to his core, Liam tells us about his travels through the news...
Midnight Snack - A Phone Call with Susan Cascone
Past guest (and my mom) Susan Cascone dials in this week as the guest so her son can give an update on the state of his health. Why not turn it into content?
The two talk getting an MRI, the anxiety it caused, and the inconvenience of having only one usable arm. Susan also gives advice on becoming more comfortable with a certain type of doctor, and the two contemplate something Danny heard about "humans acting the way they do because they don't have a natural predator"

Emily Blodgett - Emily Blodgett Junior the First
Friend and former teacher Emily Blodgett comes by and asks Danny to make Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Frosting. It gets addressed how that's not really dinner and that Emily was just craving cake.
Emily has recently switched careers from teaching and after attending one of the rowdier shows Danny has done, she made the comment, "that's what it's like dealing with middle schoolers every day." Emily talks the the history of teaching in her family, what it's like relating to 12 year olds, and that even though she loved it, she was too soft for teaching...
Dan Boulger - Too Tired to be a Drunk
Comedian Dan Boulger comes by and asks Danny to make a Keto friendly Chicken Tikka Masala.
A bounce around episode starts with Dan talking about the cooking show he used to have and a culinary creation that, even if it was a recipe he made on his own, it was maybe only good enough to try the one time. The two talk eating on camera, the Connery Bonds not holding up, and how David Robinson could potentially have been inspired by The Village People. Danny also throws Dan a more beloved basketball conspiracy theory that...
Will Smalley - You Should Care A Little Bit
Comedian and Mysterious Figure Will Smalley comes by and asks Danny to make a Grilled Cheese and Strawberry Fribble. We're going back to Friendly's.
Will really isn't all that mysterious as is discussed, but the two start with butter over mayo for a grilled cheese, a COVID honeymoon that was cancelled, and the Jim James concert Will and his husband are still hoping to see.
The two then shift and discuss perception of self compared to the other's view of yourself. Will always saw himself as a shy kid, and struggled...
Meg Killea - A Midnight Snack Sort of Episode
Audio issues and off the table topics getting in the way of a typical episode, past guest and my big sister is visiting. She hangs out and chats for a bit after seeing Danny talk on speaker phone to their DoorDash driver in the middle of a set, gives a 6 month recap of marriage, and some advice about sticking to your guns.
Midnight Snack - The First Rescinded Offer
A solo recording that wasn't supposed to be solo but wow did I not want to talk to that person any more than I already had.
And there was more. This is what I decided to fit.
