    The One Where We Drive Through The Beginnings of Our Mental Health Issues

    Using our first cars as a vehicle into our past, we discuss who we were at a much younger age and some of our mental health issues then... and what we've learned from then and of course what we've carried over into today.

    The One Where They Go To Hogwarts For Vasectomies

    The One Where They Go To Hogwarts For Vasectomies

    In this episode, your Hiatus Having Heroes are discussing all things vasectomy! That's right. One's had it, the other one hasn't. While explaining in more detail than any human would care to listen to, hemorrhorids and STD's come up. Who's this surgery for anyway and why are kids being brainwashed that 'Reality Shifting' is a real thing by Tik Tokers!? Seriously, Grant teaches Ginger that kids aren't daydreaming but actually 'Traveling' to Hogwarts for an entire lifetime...but they can return within a blink of an eye. What do they bring back with them? Anything informative or is it all LIES!?!? 
    We'd love to hear from you! Yes you! Please reach out to us via email: OnHiatus@MonkeyPooStudios.com 
    or you can shoot us a Tweet @PodcastHiatus 
    Seriously, your thoughts, feelings and COMPLEMENTS might keep this show from permenant hiatus!

    The One Where They Fight... About Friendship!

    The One Where They Fight... About Friendship!

    Even though we may or may not still be On HIatus, we were banking episodes to come back from Hiatus. This is the first of said banked episode of On Hiatus where we came off hiatus, but just long enough to go back on hiatus. 
    In this episode we discuss the ease or difficutly of being friends with each other and others. What does that actually mean for two grown adults who are most likely closer to death than their own births? We laugh, we almost cry, we allude to things and we... well how about you listen and report back to us! 
    You can reach Jay and Grant on the Twittersphere at @PodcastHiatus and we really hope that you do reach out to us!

    Day 2 Hour 2 of Podtoberfest: The One Where Grant Questions Their Reasons For Podcasting (LIVE)

    Day 2 Hour 2 of Podtoberfest: The One Where Grant Questions Their Reasons For Podcasting (LIVE)

    This episode is a bit different than what we've done in Season One.
    For those new to any of the Monkey Poo Studios podcasts, which this one is, Jason The Angry Ginger does an annual podcast marathon involving all of the podcasts and cohosts. We do this live, there's always a plan, but the plans change. Topics get covered, ignored and new and crazy things happen. So if this isn't what you're used to with On Hiatus, that's okay... but you should know Season Two is coming very soon!

    Ep 14: The One Where They Get Haircuts for Christmas

    In this episode, Ginger treats Grant (TK1) to a full facial ...shave and haircut.
    Grant uploads himself to the Matrix, the demo version of it anyway, and gets lost in virtual reality. Ginger's ex Grandma-in-law? has a conversation on the low low with his daughter about his bedroom shenanigans and Grant goes full Testosterone on his neighbor for no reason at all.

Recent started listening

I started listening after 7 Days A Geek did PodTober Fest 2020 and I have 3 episodes left. Really enjoy the show, the deep dives, and just the general flow of the conversations.
Thanks guys!

First ever review

Long time listener, first time reviewer. This is so deserving. I’ve listened to Jay and Grant on previous endeavors and have always enjoyed them. This time around, I was glued to it. Trying to work from home and listen and I found myself going to back to the same thing at work over and over because I was focusing more on the episode. I laughed, I cried. A good time was had by all. Can’t wait to listen to the rest!

From A Certain Point Askew ,

They’re back!

Really happy to hear these two guys back on mic together. They have a long history and play off each other really well. Grant brings the serious, Jay brings the silly and the combo is fantastic!
