It's episode 228!!!! The one you've been waiting all your life for. Well, it's finally here. And this one is fantastic. We start out hot and heavy by talking about Sly Stallone's recent Instagram post, which included none other than Guy Fieri. This took on a life of itself and came up throughout the show. Danish tells some stories of his recent travels. There's also IMPORTANT Dog the Bounty Hunter news and DTBH (what Dog's friends call him) family drama. Here what it's all about (only covered on this podcast). If hearing about Fieri and Dog isn't enough, there's a Seagal news item! Oh, what a glorious day! Danish talks about a TLC show that caught his eye recently. There are a LOT of celebrity cameos on this episode (if you're into that kind of thing). All in all, this one should be sent to the Smithsonian.
Kat and Livia talk with Gabe Mercado to take a chance to explore parenthood and being singleparent, finding support from family and friends in times of upheaval, and how our cultures can try to define how we are meant to behave.
