EPISODE 16: MY DEAD DAD’S BIRTHDAY: CHICKEN RIGGIES & FLATULENCE Dying Laughing with Jessimae Today would’ve been my dad’s birthday, and instead of ignoring the day—or crying into a store-bought cupcake—I decided to celebrate him the best way I know how: by telling stories, roasting his quirks, and making chicken riggies for my family. It's an Upstate thing! In this episode, I share memories of my dad and reflect on the weirdness of celebrating a birthday for someone who’s no longer here. We talk about the chaos of grief birthdays, why food is the ultimate love language in an Italian family, and the ways you can honor your own loved one on their special day—even after they’re gone. You’ll hear: – A “Roast in Peace” of my dad’s funniest quirks – Why grief birthdays are equal parts heartbreaking and healing – 6 ways to celebrate someone you’ve lost on their birthday – And why carbs, candles, and comedy are the only real grief plan you need So happy birthday, Dad. You’re still here every time we laugh, remember, and eat too much pasta. 💀 Subscribe, rate, and tag your griefiest friend. 🖤 Follow @JessimaePeluso for more. 🎁 Listener Prompt: What’s your weirdest birthday grief tradition?
