From the host of Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino comes a collection of stories you'll be glad didn't happen to you.Think of the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you. Was it the time your high school cheer squad taunted you in front of the entire town? Was it the time your best friend's mom caught you streaking in all your naked, self-conscious glory? What about the time you accidentally threw a tooth at your dry cleaner or took an urn into Kohl's for some holiday shopping? For Danny Pellegrino, the answer is all of the above.Growing up as a closeted gay kid in small-town Ohio wasn't easy, and Danny has the stories to prove it.
