Gravy Baby

DJ recounts the nuptials of his dear brother, and event that was beautiful, loving, and red as hell. From babies carrying babies, to bunk beds, to a literal missing persons situation, it was a good dang day.

We also have an academic discussion about step dads. 

It is great to have DJ back, and on a full day off. Dive on in. 

DJ DJ Lewis is back and he's talkin mad cr*p about the customers of the local Dollar General. The Abiscuit welcomes our favorite creek pirate with open arms, and he regals us with tales of lies, betrayals, backstabs, and deals on a Garth Brooks collection we are all missing from our lives. It is a fun one folks. 

Dollar Store Drew Morgan is joined this week by the one and only Slobberhose. We chat about politics, hope, mutual aid, and direct action. 

Is there any good reason to be positive right now? Well, we think there is, but it ain't all roses. Speaking of Rosies, the drunk nurse is back. 

DJ DJ Lewis is always in the woods metaphorically, but this week he's literally there, camping. So we get Andi to join Drew for an in depth discussion on how much love can suck.

Just kidding. Kinda. This podcast covers the dark thoughts we all have and the issues surrounding them - mental health, tragedy, death, pain, etc. But how do those things affect a relationship? What does it feel like when the person you love the most is in a downward spiral? How do you support them and yourself? We hope this episode is relatable and connects with those of you who love anyone touched by darkness. 

DJ DJ Lewis is a lot of things - a comedian. A writer. A felon. But he's also a damn philosopher with some big ideas about how we should handle crime. And by that, we mean that, even for him, this is an insane episode and you're gonna love it! "Why is murder even illegal," he wonders. Does Dollar Store Drew Morgan have an answer? 

Plus, Possum Charles is back. 

"Try explaining white privilege to someone who grew up white and dirt poor, or who has a record."

How bout we have that person explain white privilege to you? Today, DJ talks more about his court case and how it hardened him to any notion of white privilege, but how love and empathy led him to the truth. We also touch on museums, and give some advice as to how to have tough conversations in your own circles. 

Our entire existence is shaped by stories. Stories about God, about love, about ourselves. There is a reason "history" contains the word story. Today we ask what stories we are telling in public spaces, on our TVs, or on our podcasts. What stories are we telling with our statues, with our awards, or with who we honor? 

DJ also tells us about his religious experience at the Juneteenth celebration and Drew talks about living in the woods for a week.
