[@YukinoTakahiro]

I envy that Ethan was able to sit down and talk to his grandpa about his life. Having foreign grandparents who are VERY old fashioned and "in their ways" is like pulling teeth to hear about their history.

[@Mel0nMel]

Bro same. Everytime I go over to my grandparents they're blasting fox news and noding their heads

[@bige8949]

My grandfather passed from Multiple Sclerosis a couple of months after he asked me to help him write his memoirs, he lived 13 hours away so I never could, but I know the man was a certified badass

[@Kardinaalilintu]

I never had that luxury, my both grandfathers died before I turned 4.

[@bige8949]

My dad's side grandfather died while my grandma was pregnant, so he never met his dad @@Kardinaalilintu

[@oceanicGrimalkin]

"Peter Darling" is such an iconic-sounding name that reminds me of Peter Pan and Wendy Darling. Even just "Darling" in general sounds so swell. Ethan's grandpa sounds wonderful from his actions.

[@ACE360x]

Until you go to London and here someone say "U awite darlin" and suddenly the magic is gone

[@vincentbardai1096]

There’s actually a book called Peter Darling, it’s a retelling of Peter Pan where Peter is a trans man, Wendy being his deadname hence “Peter Darling”. It’s really really good id highly recommend

As an American, I'm offended by Sean's blatant racism towards a vast majority of the people that supported him to get him to where he is today, it saddens me beyond belief that one of the people I looked up to while growing up, no longer supports PMA and hates me because of where I'm from....

[@sabinajoh]

I love listening to two fellow neurodivergen bros because I can actually follow what's going on

[@sashazembruski4807]

The lunar calendar was much more accurate. Also, I'm sure nobody *actually* cares but as a brief synapsis Seán having so much Capricorn in his chart makes it make much more sense that he has a hard time removing himself from work, Ethan's Capricorn rising and Libra mercury is probably why they seem so similar. they are absolutely compatible friends and podcasters but probably wouldn't be super compatible romantically 😂

[@ansubanss]

8:55 Reminds me off this time where I almost walked into incoming traffic (I was just distracted) and my first thought was, "I have a test tommorrow". I was really like, " man I can't go to the hospital, I'll miss my calc test" crazy.

My grandparents have a similar story! My grandpa proposed to my grandma the first day they met, grandma said you’re crazy no way, and when my grandpa proposed 4 days later she said yes. They were married 50+ years until his passing 9years ago but she doesn’t call him her late husband, just her husband. They’re soulmates💕

[@BecxCozyCorner]

My great grandmother lived until she was 96, she died in 2019, i was 24 when she passed so i was very thankful to have had her in my life for so long. I wish i had of sat her down and recorded her story like Ethan has done with his grandfather, if she was okay with that of course but i might see if my grandparents are okay with me doing this now! Especially for my daughter, its so cool to have their stories in video form like a time capsule, and said from their own words ❤

[@Wrenmaxwell7299]

Eef looks so good today!! So happy the new pod EP is out I've been waiting impatiently all week

[@melrenee5416]

38:44 Similar for me, my dad would say "You arent stupid so why are you acting like you are" whenever i disappointed him and he may as well have just called me stupid, it had the same effect when me doing my best/what I thought was right was "acting stupid". Please, please if youre a parent be mindful of how you talk to your kids, shit will stick in awful ways you never expect it to 🥲

[@Benjamin.J.Holliday]

Greaaaaat great. The song Scarborough Fair is stuck in my head now, thanks Seàn 😂

[@zoemartinez9933]

I'm surprised that Sean isn't going into more voice acting, I know he's been in a few things but he should be in more

[@pedrostormrage]

50:00 The reason why we have leap years is to keep the calendar aligned with the seasons (which is important especially for agriculture, but also for any kind of season-dependent activity). We define a day as the time it takes for the Earth to rotate once on its axis, and a year as the time it takes the Earth to orbit the sun (365.24 days). However, earlier calendars had a year of 365 days, which was first corrected by the Julian calendar (and later on by the Gregorian calendar) once they realized the years were not properly aligning with the seasons (and to compensate for that 0.24 day lag, our current calendar adds an extra day (roughly) every 4 years).

[@infamousArtem1s]

Ok, I'm a leo and i totally agree, when I was younger I wanted to get the sign tattooed, but didn't want to walk around with a single sperm tattooed on me😂 I then looked up the constellation, but that just looks like a hanger.

Thats why i said fuck it and got a firey lion

[@Binny944]

I was "FUCK" at first and then I was like after thinking about it.. man I agree 😭

[@rayncloud99]

That's when you get a lion instead. I promise you that so many Leos have a lion tattoo. 😂

[@julieneff9408]

Not exactly an astrology deep dive, but I fucks with it. Them saying Aries season just made me miss Jenna Marbles because she and Julien would always mention it. But it's Virgo season now guys. And there should be a zodiac sign symbolized by a tardigrade.

[@Ruby_Nightmares.They-Them.]

If i remember correctly... moose scrape the fur off their antlers and it looks horrifying cuz theres blood all over them and stuff hanging off! Kinda creepy but cool 😅

[@Ray-bq9ue]

That stuff hanging off is actually called "Velvet"!

[@sammiewoods258]

Antler fuzz is called "Velvet" and is a living tissue that covers the antlers while they grow! Eventually the circulation to the velvet cuts off, the tissue dries and falls off, usually after the deer rubs it away on a tree. Mid-velvet shed, the deer look kinda funny because they just have this fleshy stuff hanging off their heads in peices. Super cool stuff

[@ffionswithin8648]

After years of complaining about her bad back, my mom got on the Megaphobia ride. It cricked her back so good, it relieved her chronic back pain for tye majority of the day until we got onto a different ride and it hurt her back again. She was very grumpy about it. Good times.

[@milkbattery5477]

i hope one day ethan feels comfortable sharing the interview with his grandfather, i would love to hear his stories.

[@AdaGoldie]

The biggest thing with astrology is that its kind of a misconception that its "because of the planets." Human beings are really good at pattern recognition, so millennia ago astrology was used more like a calendar to track things like best planting/harvest days. Horoscopes are fairly new ( I think still less than 100 years?) and are an overgeneralization. Think of astrology more as a jumping off point for recognizing patterns in people's lives instead of the sole reasoning for why certain things happen. For instance, Sean has his moon in cancer which is often associated with musical talent and he just so happens to have an interest related to that!

[@jaquiblue1416]

Sean: "No one wants aliens more than I do." The Fair Folk of Ireland: "Are we a joke to ya!?"

[@knitwit9447]

Honestly talking to grandparents can reveal so much. I learned about different conditions most of the women on my maternal side have (no surprise, i have them too), but also just more about our family history. My grandma used to tell me stories before bed about all of the things my mom and her sisters got up to as kids growing up in germany. Im a little heartbroken because i had some of my grandma's stories written and illustrated (we both paint and worked on it together) but it was destroyed in a fire about a year ago.

Speaking of molting, I had this weird dream one time like eight years ago while I was still in school that I remember vividly to this day. In it, a radioactive meteorite hit our school. Because it was radioactive, they put like a huge fumigation tent over the entire campus. We were there for months and months and months. Due to the radiation, we mutated. We begin to molt our skin. They made us go to the science labs to do it, and took it away supposedly to dispose of it. After months, me and a few of my friends realize that a supply drop hadn’t come by in a few weeks. So, we started to wonder how we’re getting food and supplies After curfew one night, we sneak out of our rooms and we go to check. What we found, was that they were blending up our molted skin and feeding it to us. So yeah. This is always the first thing I think of when I hear the word molting. I have all sorts of wild ass dreams. This just so happened to be one that I had to write in a dream journal for psychology class though; my teacher was mortified. 💀
