#73 Pt 1 – When You’re Teaching, You’re Acting: Drinking Espressos, Cartoon Network, God Squad & Italy With Megan Gritti

This week Mike is joined by his girlfriend Megan Gritti for a chilled out discussion about a many great things including movies, teaching, Italy and religion!

Their chat begins with talk of their new pet tortoise Wickette (female version of the ewok name Wicket from Star Wars) before discussing their new coffee machine and the recent love of espresso after a trip to Italy to see Megan’s family, before they discuss Spongebob Squarepants and other kids TV shows which links onto Megan’s job as a teacher of 11-16 year olds. The conversation then leads onto retaliating to bullies when younger, details of the churches Mike & Megan saw while in Italy as well as their stances on religion along with Megan’s involvement in “God Squad” and much more!

In part 2 of their chat Mike & Megan reminisce about hymns from their time in Catholicism (Megan’s Italian family and Mike’s primary school), memories from pre-school, a quick talk on bees & honey farms, before discussing the movie Joker (with no spoilers mentioned) as well as Warwick Davis in Star Wars and after mentioning The Shining they talk about horror films, how Mike & Megan met, oversharing relationships on social media, meeting people in clubs and much more, so be sure to tune in next week!

Mike also guested on The Brave Files to speak about how his dad passing away when he was 19 changed his character, so if you enjoyed episode 24 of GCC, you’re sure to like this too: https://vickeryandco.com/podcasts/86/

In case you missed it, last week Mike spoke with Aidan Rosewell about his Days Of My Life & Room podcasts  as well as Aidan’s travels around India & his self-discovery, why he thinks he got into drugs and how they caused his life to spiral, before talking about how the legal & social stance on drugs often causes some of the problems they should be solving, including many of the stigmas surrounding drug-users & addicts, how legalisation or decriminalisation may be a viable option to prevent, Aidan’s stance on redemption, how his past helped him perceive certain issues better, the transitional phase our society is currently in and more!
