What starts with a tweet and a copy of 12½ by Gary Vaynerchuk turns into a cross-state donut taste test between two new friends: host Rob Raffety and guest Matt Brady.
Matt, a self-proclaimed foodie with a culinary background and a knack for reef design, joins Rob to unpack everything from parenting late in life to Halo nostalgia, while diving deep into the local legends of Neil’s Donuts (CT) and Creamy Delicious Donuts (WV).
The two compare cake vs. yeast donuts, argue over Boston Cream vs. Coconut Cream, and wonder aloud—who is Neil? Oh, and someone may or may not eat half a dozen donuts during the taping.
🎙️ Highlights:
- How a Gary Vee book sparked a long-distance connection
- Is it time for a national Donut Tour?
- Rob’s nostalgic shout-out to Sega, Call of Duty, and dad life
- Donut shipping logistics and flavor theory
- Creating meaningful friendships online
Whether you’re a foodie, a gamer, a parent, or just along for the ride—this episode brings sweet vibes, big laughs, and serious snack envy.
