Gravy Baby

Drew is back in East Tennessee with Andi, and today they discuss being basically on top of each other for the better part of the last 18 months. 

Andi tells us about her new ventures in the world of music, what it means to heal, and shares her biggest dream. We get into deep stuff on art, mutual aid, and the fear of the future. DJ will be back next week. Love y'all. 

DJ and Drew jump on the porch, live. You can watch the episode on youtube. We discuss our recent run of shows, diversity in comedy, and breakfast foods. We also play another game of "ask DJ what they do" and his opinion on what  the Inspector General does  is hilarious. 

Additionally, we feature Drew Mason's short story Granny Green and the Little Folk. Follow him on twitter @DKPFransazzio.

Today is episode 4:20 and I'm gonna be real honest - I got high during it and don't remember any of what we talked about OTHER THAN - I asked DJ what he j*cks *ff to and his answer has absolutely destroyed me. I am laughing again thinking about it.

We dive in on whether comedy should have genres and talk about when the homies get an OnlyFans. Also DJ explains why Nessy is the greatest goat of all time. Then, we have a real casual not too deep at all conversation about how it feels to have a N*zi in the family. 

Today we recount and recoup from Strikefest - an event we performed at to raise money for striking miners in Alabama. We are so dang proud to have helped on the UMWA, Labor Report, and Hometown Action there. Last we heard we helped raise over 70k for families of miners. We also discuss being back on the road in general and what it was like to finally meet some of you wonderful people. See yuns out there. 

Today we are so excited to be joined by Rae Garringer of Country Queers! Country Queers is a now a podcast heading into it's second season, but has been a project of Rae's for years now. They have compiled hours of interviews with members of the LGBTQIA+ community in rural areas to compile oral histories in the "front porchin'" tradition of Appalachia and rural America.

It is not an exaggeration to call Rae's project monumentally important to the history of our entire country and culture. 

We are joined today by our good buddy and literal rocket scientist Shalin Mody. He discusses growing up brown in America, living in Alabama, and what exactly is going on in India. From cultural differences, poverty, and their own potentially fascist leader, Shalin gives his perspective on the international disaster that is Covid. We also have fun at NASA's expense.

Oh, and we get a Nessy the Goat update. 

Drew regales us with tales of his time in New Orleans - or more accurately tries to recall them while bleary eyed and hungover. Short ep. folks. Be back next week. 

Today we are joined again by activist and writer Warren Tidwell who shares with us some very good news! He and some student activists he works with were able to gain a very important victory against the prison industrial complex in Alabama. We celebrate this victory with Warren and discuss the importance of always celebrating wins. Folks we cannot stress enough how important this is. Small ones, big, personal, broad societal ones: take some time and dwell on the good stuff. 

And on that note: DJ got a baby GOAT. You get to meet Nessy! 

DJ DJ Lewis is many things: an artist, a poet, a vagabond - but one thing he is not is above having a good d**n time. When his neighbors decided to have a felonious bonfire, DJ felt compelled by the red to join them. You'll hear all about it, plus we are joined by video game creator D. Mason for a talk about creating dystopian worlds when our reality feels closer and closer to a sci-fi novel every day.
