How Do I Un-Remember This?

A New York Times bestseller that proves your most awkward moments might just be your greatest hits.

From Danny Pellegrino—host of the Everything Iconic podcast—comes a hilariously vulnerable collection of true stories that blur the line between cringe and catharsis. Growing up gay in small-town Ohio, Danny didn’t have role models—he had Brandy ballads and late-night reruns of The Nanny. Pop culture wasn’t just entertainment—it was escape, therapy, and survival.

In How Do I Un-Remember This?, Danny revisits his most unforgettable moments: flying teeth, public streaking, an urn at Kohl’s—and the deeper emotional truths behind them. Told with sharp wit and sincere heart, these essays celebrate the messy, mortifying, and meaningful path to self-acceptance.
