Listen in as Brian and Jesse interview me with the most fun (and efficient!) interview structure I've ever seen. They put a ton of work into prepping for this episode, and it really shows. We also stick around afterwords and discuss some of my answers, and I ask their opinions on a few things. Overall, I had a great time, and after listening to this episode, you will definitely better understand how the "Shut Up, Dan" Podcast got its name. Enjoy!

Listen in as I speak with my parents, Dan Sr. & Tammie Kandray, about parenting. As some of you may know, my wife and I are expecting a baby girl this December, and I am trying to get as much parenting advice as possible (for better or worse) before she gets here. So, naturally, I went to the best parents I know. I really enjoyed this conversation.

Listen in as I speak with my most feral and unpredictable guest yet, Frank "Franky Wahoo" Stewart, about his experiences as a producer in the music industry, fast food, taxes, and so much more.  Frank is a real wild card and one of the most entertaining people I know, so I knew we would have an interesting conversation. So, per Frank, let's go defund the IRS. Enjoy!

I'm back! After taking a short trip to Las Vegas to lose in a Jiu-Jitsu tournament, I finally have a new episode for you all to enjoy. Listen in as I speak to several members of my Fantasy Football League during our league draft. I've been a part of this league for over a decade and it includes several of my best friends and family members. Regardless, I always relish the opportunity to beat them in pretend sports and recklessly talk smack afterwords (I am a 2-time champ after all). Anyway, this is definitely more of a "hang-out" episode as we talk about various topics like the Cleveland Browns, fantasy football strategy, aliens, and selling snake oil (my apologies, I talk way too much in this episode). I had great time recording this one, and a big shoutout to "The Commish", Jesse Beckner, for suggesting we record the draft as a podcast. Enjoy!

Listen in as I talk to three of the my best friends,  Brian Apple, Jesse Beckner & Zach Schrump, about board games...and card games...and drinking games. Just games, games, and more games. Playing various board games has always been a fun part of our friendship so I felt like having them on to reminisce a little. We discuss how we first got into playing board games, what some of our current favorites are, we tell some funny  stories, and then discuss card games and drinking games as well. As expected, these guys are super entertaining and I loved this conversation. Enjoy!

Listen in as I speak to one of my best friends, Jesse Beckner, about Star Wars. This is a topic Jesse and I are very passionate about, and it's something we've bonded over since we were children. We discuss our experiences and opinions regarding almost all the major pieces of Star Wars content, and spend some time with minor ones as well. Just to warn you, we go DEEP on Star Wars lore, so if you're allergic to extreme nerdiness, this episode might not be for you. When it comes to Star Wars, there's no opinion I value more than Jesse's, and I absolutely loved this conversation. Enjoy!

Listen in as I talk to my good buddy and brother in-law-in-law, Bilal Rasul, about video games. We discuss how he first got into gaming, the struggle of gaming without a memory card, his favorite games of all time, what games he is currently playing, his favorite genres, studios, and producers/directors, his thoughts on the industry at large, and so much more. Enjoy!

Listen in as Michael Fisher and I continue our conversation about beer. We further discuss Michael's experiences working for a craft brewery, hosting a Youtube craft beer talkshow (all episodes can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/@brewtoyou2417), some unique strip-club stories, how his alcohol consumption habits have changed over the years, some Las Vegas experiences, and much more! As always, Michael kept me thoroughly entertained throughout our conversation. Enjoy!

Listen in as I speak with buddy and cousin-in-law, Michael Fisher, about beer. We talk about his earliest drinking experiences, how his career path lead to a very thorough education in craft beer and liquor, how his palate has changed over the years, some very funny drinking stories, and much more! As mentioned a few times in our conversation, an unexpected scheduling error by me caused us to end our discussion earlier than we planned, so I asked Michael to come back on for a part 2, which we recorded the following week and will be released soon. Michael's a very funny guy, and hopefully you all enjoy him as much as I do. Enjoy!

Listen in as speak with my good friend, Chad Kuhn, about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Chad is a First-Degree Black Belt, the head Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor and gym manager for East Coast Martial Arts in Canton, Ohio. Chad is also co-host of the Limitless Radiocast. We talk about what Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu actually is, a little bit of its history, how Chad first got into training, how his game has changed over the years, his teaching philosophy, and much more. Enjoy!
