  • Owen Linders and Molly Dugan - WE had Gestational Diabetes
    May 20 2024

    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.

  • Corey Rodrigues - All You Have To Do Is Start Doing It
    May 13 2024

    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.

  • Midnight Snack - How To Say My Name and Bank Jail
    May 6 2024

    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.

  • Kelly MacFarland - Don't Force Yourself on a Step-Child; No, Not Like That.
    Apr 29 2024

    Comedian Kelly MacFarland comes by and asks Danny to make a Grilled Cheese and a Tomato Soup.

    The two start with a cheese pull, Kelly telling us she graduated with 79 kids in the class of her Maine high school, and how going to college in Portland felt like a move to "The Big City." Kelly also tells us about taking her time to get married, how she wanted to be absolutely sure of her partner as well as herself, and what it's like being the mother of a child from a previous relationship.

    Kelly also tells us about her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and how the fixations of death she had as a child finally confronted her when both of her parents passed in quick succession. Despite an entire life's worth of worry, Kelly found herself not only being able to handle it, but being able to live with it.

    A message for Kelly's son I forgot to add during that part of the conversation: Even if you're a freshman, ask out that cute senior girl on the rugby team. Who cares if she says yes. Who cares if she says no. What's important is you took the gamble.

  • Ryan Ellington - Maybe One Day I'll Have a Patreon
    Apr 22 2024

    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
    Apr 14 2024

    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 reality of what was happening, and the other where it was hidden. What ensued is a drug slide that includes selling cocaine for your father, an addiction to heroin, and a rehab restart to exonerate being a chip off the old block.

  • Midnight Snack - A Covid Phone Call with Susan Cascone
    Apr 4 2024

    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
    Mar 26 2024

    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 world, the places it took him, and the adventurous spirit passed down from his mother that drove the journey. Liam tells us about Lansing, Michigan, producing entire broadcasts by himself, and we hear about how the number 2 ranked evening anchor (darn you, David Wade) didn't always want to be an anchor, let alone on the news even.

    Figuring out your dream job can be hard, landing it is harder, and walking away from it is the hardest of it all. Liam's time at WBZ he tells us truly was a dream, but there was something deeper bubbling: the OCD and anxiety he'd dealt with all his life were being exacerbated, he felt distant from his family, and if something didn't change the soldier who always said "yes" was finally going to break.
