Ayooo, I hope the holiday seasons treat yall well and that anyone hopping back into school or work or their usually life after some time off has a nice return back. A lot is in the air this year. We're going to figure this all out as we go. To ease some stress, here is a true, light-hearted episode ft. my best friend... who may or may not have known I was recording. I feel like she probably knew because of how my energy changes. So this is how we're starting the year. With some COVID-adapted activity time with Heather. 

If you have any ideas, requests, suggestions, or just want to talk it up, please feel free to shoot over messages and suggestions through the Insta (@g00npod). Let's see how 2021 unfolds.

Ayo, it's B. You know, I don't think setting up deadlines and posting schedules works for me. Oh well. In this one I share my experience with Goblin (Guardian: The Lonely and the Great God) as my first Kdrama, and it leads to my favorite aspects of other shows I like. The themes tie in a message for the end of 2020. Got a little more into it than I intended, but hopefully stayed out of the ranty side and in the realm of wholesome :)

If you have any ideas, requests, suggestions, or just want to talk it up, please feel free to shoot over messages and suggestions through the Insta (@g00npod). I believe in you and your abilities to persist through the challenges from 2020 and embrace what 2021 has to offer. 

Ayo, it's B back for another shorter and ranty episode (Why Is B Upset). This episode, a recurring rant touching on things that upset me in relation to my culture, and some other commentary about society. We'll try to get the next one to be more light-hearted so this series isn't just me being angsty all the time. Maybe we'll pull a friend on. If you're still around or go back to listen to previous episodes, I appreciate you immensely.

I know the holiday season can be difficult for some, literally and metaphorically a cold time of the year. Keep going. You've got this. I believe in you and your abilities.

Ayo, it's B, after a long while of disappearing from this podcast scene. We love when the cumulative stressors from life, school, politics, and social matters drags us down into a drag. Not really. For legal reasons, that was a joke. However, we're going to hop back into this, weekly or biweekly, depending on how much I have going on. If you're still around, thank you. I promise to be better with this project, because this is something I genuinely want to carry on with.

I didn't say anything at the end of this one BUT: Please drink water. Please try to eat if you have not yet. Please take a moment to stretch. Please take any meds and vitamins you need to. September is Suicide Prevention Month, and this note is for anyone who needs it. I know I didn't speak on it in episodes, but please be kind to yourselves. Find your reason to stick around, no matter how small it might seem, if it works, that's all that matters. It can be picking up the mess in your room, petting all the animals you can, graduating, proving someone wrong, waiting for your next laugh. I hope the world and life treat you kindly, because you deserve to see how your life plays out. If you're considering or planning, please don't.

Welcome back to the season cameo of The Gay and The Straight Podcast part TWO. Yep, Heather's in this episode too as this is a continuation of the previous recording session.

This portion of the recording includes Shark Boy and Lava Girl, Bob Duncan, Heather's dedication to food, Allen & Houston Magazine, and you have to listen for anything else.

Could I have easily bleeped out the swears to keep things clean? Yes. I just got lazy to edit all that, so I'm marking it explicit.

Welcome back to The Gay and The Straight Podcast...wait...it's the G00n Pod...wait...it's the Puppy Pod. You know what, scratch all that, glad you can tune in for this one because -wait for it- HEATHER'S HERE! :)

I managed to have Heather hop onto this recording session, which I broke into two episodes so they would not be as long. In this first chunk, we get updates on Heather's happenings, talk about the pod, reminisce about Disney, and my puppy chills out for a while, nibbling on my hand for a while.

AJ The Simp, an original g00n, has joined the G00n Pod. The original intended focus for this episode was to discuss school and COVID. We dive into how quarantine changes life, mentioning its impact on the progression of our college experiences. However, naturally, many side conversations took place as well. For this g00n sesh, we offer you Kermit impressions, our son, and loving jabs.

To the Kings, Queens, Royal Neithers and In-betweens: Take care of yourselves

Ayo welcome to an episode featuring me having a crisis about my future. So for anyone else who would call themselves lost. We're going to be okay. Just some reminders: There's no such thing as graduating "on time". People change majors all the time. People change schools. People drop college altogether. People join college later in their lives. People come back to it later in life, whether it's their first run through or for a change. It's all okay.

I would like to emphasize that I can only speak from our personal experiences and that life varies drastically from person to person.

Looks like we're having ~another rant~ today. Speaking up for what you believe in can be intimidating when you realize what you're opening yourself up to. Because of this, it is extremely important to be mindful of yourself and how you carry those beliefs with you. Take in as much from as many sides as you can, in as neutral a perspective as you are able, and go from there. Be upfront when you don't know answers, it's okay if you don't.

Keep your eyes on Kenosha. Keep your eyes on Portland. Keep your eyes on the police who need to be held accountable. The protests are still happening, everywhere. It's not over. Don't let mainstream news media convince you it is. The lives of the past, present, and future all have their eyes on us. 

I didn't say anything at the end of this one BUT: Please drink water. Please try to eat if you have not yet. Please take a moment to stretch. Please take any meds and vitamins you need to. Please be kind to yourselves.
