Mike Dupont - Snake in a Bag

Theo Konstantino - You Don't Need to Open the Briefcase
Comedian Theo Konstantino comes by and asks Danny to make Pastitsio (Greek Lasagna)The two start with how Cinnamon in Pasta is a tricky thing to nail and Theo throws Danny a bone bringing up the New York Knicks. Sorry, Jayson Tatum. Theo shifts to how he wasn't a big sports kid growing up even though he enjoyed it. This serves to be a springboard as the two discuss stopping a hobby because of skill level, why does it even matter to be "good" at something you view as a hobby, and the idea of forcing fun making it harder to have fun.Danny talks about what might be his first stalker, and we hear about "Critical Hit Theo" who used to step over the line a little too much in verbal sparring matches.Support:Instagram: @theokonstantinoPatreon.com/DannyKillea for more content (like the bonus episode Theo did immediately after this one)

Past Guest, Mom, and now Grandma Susan Cascone makes a few appearances as well in between rocking the baby.

Sabrina D'Souza - Small but not Tiny
EHuman Being Sabrina D'Souza comes by and asks Danny to make Chilaquiles with Salsa Roja. Sabrina messaged Danny on Instagram something kind, and Danny had the completely normal reaction to say, "do you wanna be a guest on an episode of my podcast?" After making friends with the animals of Kentucky, Sabrina talks being back in Boston, and more specifically, the same place she grew up in. Unfortunately, Sabrina coming back to Boston was not originally her plan. After waking up one morning with an impending sense that "something bad was going to happen," that something would later come in the form of a Breast Cancer diagnosis.

Austin talks making a record and what it takes to self produce an album. From the writing, to the recording, the mixing, and mastering, Austin mapped everything out and takes us through the process. We hear about renting an Air BnB instead of a studio because it was cheaper, how mixing songs became Austin's life for a little, and that when it was all said and done, Austin didn't plan for the praise he'd receive for the music.

Some shop talk at the beginning, Andrew and Danny talk about how at points Comedy can feel like chasing a dragon, how frustrating it is to feel like you aren't progressing, and how sometimes the best way to recognize your progression is to go back to Day 1 and look at it zoomed out. Andrew is getting married in the summer as well so we chat with the husband to be to ask him what are some things he think he'll be good at with the new relationship label as well as some things he might need to work on, but either way, he's ready and excited.

What better place for continued projects than a farm? Zach talks about life with chickens and how he hopes one day to have a flock of sheep, but the labor of love right now belongs to the sugaring process for maple syrup. Zach takes us through the process he's done four years in a row now where each year he's asked himself, "am I really gonna do this again?"Support Zach:Instagram: @new_england_dad

Amma Marfo - Fast Food Buffets

Amma is aware it is not as good as regular pizza dough. Amma also tells us about a family visit and the two discuss the middle years of the parent/child relationship, the process of renewing a green card, and how Massachusetts State Representative Kevin Honan's wife paid for some supplies Amma was grabbing for volunteer work she does.

It's a mixed bag of cultures and religions (some of which don't get along) but rather than push himself into one specific box, Ahmed has found himself more comfortable blending his worlds even if some people say "you can't be both." We learn a little about Ahmed's children as well, and how he's the day-to-day caretaker. A father in that position, he's heard all the classic comments like "mom's day off?" It can be frustrating, but rather than get frustrated he leans into it for a personal giggle, all the while knowing with his kids is where he feels most comfortable.

EFood Blogger Alyssa Palladino (@bottomlyssbites) comes by and asks Danny for "Chicken Parm or Eggplant Parm." Why not both? We jump in with Alyssa telling us how people pronounce her name incorrectly, but not the part of her name you'd think. The two throw out a few nostalgic snacks, how some have fallen off (or never hit the mark to begin with), and Alyssa shares a beloved flavor of ice cream that would be buried deep on a "Most Popular Ice Cream Flavors" list. Alyssa shifts and tells us about a childhood split between two parents. Yes, there was a divorce, but up until age 9 she lived with her mother. After a tragic accident where her mother passed, Alyssa and her siblings found themselves living with their father and step-mother. At peace with it today, she does look at younger family members who are now the age she was for this traumatic event and think "maybe a 9 year old shouldn't have to deal with that," as well as knowing this has a role in her day to day anxiety.

Vivian Dang - The Dreaded "i" Word
EFood Blogger Vivian Dang comes by and asks Danny to make Thit Kho (braised pork and eggs)Vivian starts with talking about the dinner entertainment she'll usually watch when eating, and how her video of choice makes it so she never has dinner alone. Vivian tells us too about how her love of food came from a mother that always cooked, and even though she now enjoys life as a food blogger, she herself isn't too big on cooking. The conversation shifts when Vivian shares a magical 10 minutes she had away from her phone, and the two discuss how she never really has time to relax. Even when she does find the time, Vivian is still thinking about the next work thing to take care of, and after thinking about work for most of her life it's hard to come up for fresh air.

Chuck Staton - A Race to the Bottom
EMusician and Podcast Host/Producer Chuck Staton comes by and asks Danny to make Chicken Marsala and Twice Baked Potatoes.Chuck starts with the punk band Mohawk days, an unfortunate scalp sunburn, and how even as adults that know better the idea of "you gotta get a sunburn first before you can tan" is a concept people still follow.We then move into Chuck's love for regional chains. The idea of making a product, cornering a market, and not bending on your morals; the result is a creation that's well liked enough by consumers to provide "comfort" to the creator while not becoming a corporate shell for the sake of excess. Chuck also talks about how today's climate feels like a race to be the first person to say something mean/snarky/sarcastic, and how it basically is just a chocolate cake.Support Chuck:Click this link to find "Funbearable" episodes on your streaming platform of choiceThe Funbearable team will be recording their 100th episode Live at the Comedy Connection in Rhode Island 7/21.

Having always wanted to work in the Deathcare Industry, Caroline walks us through what it's like being the "Wednesday Addams" kid, the idea of respecting death, and how death is something that happens to everyone yet is a conversation no one wants to have.Caroline also talks about a few predatory practices in the Deathcare Industry, how you really don't need that 700 dollar urn (unless that's what the person going in the urn ACTUALLY wanted), and how even in death there's things to laugh at.Support Caroline:Instagram: @coolrolineTickets for Danny's weekly stand-up show at Sunset Cantina in Boston starting 7/18 can be purchased hereReferenced throughout the episode is Caitlin Doughty's book Smoke Gets In Your Eyes (And Other Lessons from the Crematory) which can be found for purchase through Caitlin's website by clicking this link

Jesse Farris - A Play In Three Penises
EComedian Jesse Farris comes by and asks Danny to make queso. Jesse starts with how she was once known as "Heater Girl." A teenager who wished to fade into the background, Jesse found a warm heater at her high school and like a cat made that her kingdom. The two talk getting mistaken for being younger than they are, and how it's considered "good" for women but "bad" for men. Jesse is also the daughter of past guest Kathe. The two talk having the same career path as a parent, the difference between walking in their footsteps versus being stuck in their shadow, and Jesse gives some advice on the importance of expressing individuality. Jesse also went to New York City and, in traditional New York City fashion, saw male genitalia.
