Join the kitchen party! Special guest Troy and his dad Terrance, with a dash of nostalgia and a pinch of wisdom, share his earliest culinary adventures that trace back to his father's kitchen. We start by stirring up childhood memories, from Logan's unique spicy instant ramen creation to Troy's ambitious attempts at baking a Neapolitan cake. Along the way, we serve up laughs in a 'hot seat' segment that sees Troy flipping the script on his dad, extracting savory stories from his time as a Navy chef to his current chapter as a culinary arts mentor.

As the aroma of reminiscence fills the air, we shift gears and chat about the video games that pepper our downtime. Halo and Mario Kart aren't just games for us—they're a slice of escapism. We reveal close shaves from our reckless teenage years, like the BB gun incident that thankfully never escalated, and share how such experiences seasoned our personal growth. Troy tickles the ivories with his piano skills, hitting all the right notes with the Mario theme, while we acknowledge the importance of embracing our mistakes in the kitchen and in life.

The final course of our conversation uncovers the pranks and pivotal moments that shaped our journey to adulthood. Troy opens up about sneaking out and the impactful decision to join the military at 17, highlighting the seasoning these experiences added to his life's recipe. We look ahead, too, teasing the potential of new cookbooks and the expansion of our culinary explorations. Listen in for a heartwarming slice of family connection, shared passions for drawing and Roblox gaming, and a reminder that life, like our favorite recipes, is best enjoyed with a generous helping of laughter and love.
