the granpod the granpod

In the 5th episode of season 2 of the granpod, fellow musician BUZZKILL (usually known as Alex) and I have a discussion about the hypothetical question of how many eighth graders we could beat in a fight, before getting into a more in depth conversation about how he got into grandson and about his own music. Then we play "The End and The Beginning" where he has to guess the grandson song using only a few words before we buckle down and discuss the current alarming political state in Germany and the US (as the situations aren't so different).

In the 4th episode of season 2 of the granpod, one of my best friends Leo (they/them) joins me for a ~Halloween Special~ where we choose new bones (by Imagine Dragons) for our bodies and talk about what it was like for them following the tour over the summer with two other grandkids on a journey dubbed "the granvan" all while dressed as our favorite demon/angel duo. Then we play a game that involves combining two things we love (Good Omens and grandson) and then proceed to talk about the former for far too long in what could at this point be considered a propaganda campaign to get you to watch Good Omens (which you should).

CONTENT WARNING!!! The Deep Dive Topic of this episode does relate to depression/anxiety and the thoughts that stem from being a person that lives with these. This discussion takes place between 1:22:12 and 1:34:15 if you would like to skip it but still here about the charity we shoutout for resources!!!




In the 3rd episode of season 2 of the granpod, Mothica joins me for discussions about music, both from the perspective of a creative and as a fan of music as well as a candid discussion about mental health and channeling that into creative endeavors. I also bring her up to speed on the grandkid "is tea a soup" debate lore, show her my grandson impression, and do a fun spin on google granslate with Mothica lyrics!!!

Special thank you to Daisy for suggesting Mothica to come on the podcast!!! I appreciate you endlessly!!!

In the 2nd episode of season 2 of the granpod, Nick and I discuss whether we'd rather have leg-sized fingers or finger-sized legs, look back on his experience in the Great Granpod Election of 2022-2023, and I get some purely self-serving revenge for the game of the anniversary episode. We also dig deeper into how he found grandson and get a glimpse into the shows he's been to, I let him giddily ramble about motorsport for a good 15 minutes, and laugh a lot along the way.

RIP Benny Harvey, gone but not forgotten. Miss you mate.

In the 7th episode and final episode of season 1 of the granpod, Theo and I choose which fruit we think would make the best president, play a game involving comments on grandson music videos, and briefly discuss the granpod election it is participating in this year. We also converse about the state of concert crowds in the post-quarantine age, reminisce on the night we finally met in person, and throwback to the "@grandsonsucks" days as that's when they found grandson!
