Noah reports on how collecting the “dad tax” is going and dreams of someday turning his homemade baked goods hobby into a lucrative hustle.
On a recent date night with Ruth, Noah gets to check out some competition for his U2 tribute band. He also contemplates what to do after tonight’s date night.
Noah talks about Thanksgiving, muses on his mother-in-law Agnes’ terrible cooking, and recounts some of her social climbing schemes and machinations.
Noah is exhausted after days in the kitchen making pear butter, pear cookies, and pear everything dealing with the Pear-pocalypse.
