Twinnuendo | Episode 3: Death and Dying…with Twins!

[@johnstephens333]

I’m really liking this pod. The straight one so funny, I wasn’t expecting that. The gay one’s ok.

[@GenericoBolio]

"the gay one is ok" is a lovely general sentiment

[@codydriver6413]

I want to see if Darby were to put Grant in drag if he would look like Darby or not.

No cause that would actually be a really fun video. 💀💀

[@nicholasfriedman4640]

Agreed!

[@cordovathediva1155]

Straight Darby gave us all a reality check: in so many difficult situations SOMEONE has to be the grown up, and even then, they dunno what they’re doing. I think that’s adulthood in a nutshell. Realizing even pastors aren’t prepared for so many things but 90% of the work is simply being there.

[@cordovathediva1155]

“Except for surgeons” -Gay Darby

[@SurfNoir08]

I love that you refer to Grant as “Straight Darby” 😂😂

It’s the way I look forward to this podcast every week now

43:12 "we can talk about him because he shortly after that got ALS and died a HORRIBLE death" 😮🤣 absolutely savage. I love this podcast.

wow I never thought I'd start developing a parasocial relationship with a straight man

"if anything she WISHES she were black" oh the scream I scrumpt 😭

[@BrianSpringer]

Very much enjoying listening to you two. The only downfall to be here for the beginning of this is not having many many many episodes to binge! Thank you both for sharing your perspectives and experiences with all of us.

[@Sims3MovieNetwork]

i like how they part their hair in the opposite direction

[@schripppy]

I grew up as a pastor's kid and listening to these stories is healing somehow, thank you. Edit: Just saying I am really enjoying this podcast, especially hearing Grant's story and perspective.

[@joeyjose727]

33:44 “Were here last words “UGHHHH’” and “why are my feet hot???” double whammy… I hate this as an episode topic but it was still funny 😭

[@lougien3722]

I can not understate how brilliant this podcast is. thank you for all these conversations. I’m either moved to tears or laughing to tears.

[@mandor-nr9rt]

You guys, this podcast is only 3 episodes in and listening has already been so relatable and healing for me. I grew up evangelical and closeted in the south. It was a long process of questioning, confusion, and trying my best to be a good Christian and stay faithful. I finally accepted I was an atheist at 18 but it was a painful process to get there. I also moved far away from home at 20 and still have a rocky relationship with my family. At 30 I still occasionally realize things I was indoctrinated to believe are not true. This podcast is hilarious while being so vulnerable and open as well. Hearing a perspective from an ex pastor that's this candid and open is also so interesting and something I've never heard before. Keep up the good work guys, love it.

[@liam0709]

I’m obsessed with how good a person Grant is!

[@metacrisis47]

Grant needs to write a book, i was so enthralled by his description of being the “adult” during the death process. Fascinating stuff.

[@jackfruth3738]

My new fav podcast! Twin-trauma!

[@RachelleBeyer]

I’m sad that I didn’t discover this podcast a year from now so that I could have a backlog of episodes to binge.

[@peggymeyenburg6362]

A week is too long to wait for more twinspeak.

[@camogrrl]

I came in when they had 8 episodes - they only took 2 month’s to produce these.

[@kaelfarron9398]

As someone who is gay and was raised as a Jehovah's Witness I really love hearing both your perspectives on everything. Hearing how Grant came to the realisation that not everything he was taught and believed in was true and that those beliefs tried to teach us to hate other people just connects with me so much. Also on the topic of God, I've always found it confusing that God supposedly gave us free will but we have to follow his word exactly otherwise we'd be punished for it. I just don't understand how anyone can think that makes sense.

[@themxbee]

I still boycott Chic-fil-A to this day. I was freshly out of the closet in college and remember driving past a drive-thru line over a mile long on that day. It’s still a trigger.

[@amyk.2500]

I’ve boycotted them for a long time now too! Never went back

[@Thegabub]

Darby's JoJo Siwa dance was hilarious!!!

[@GrimYarrow]

Oh I get it! He's a PASSED-or... because of all those people he killed

[@SurfNoir08]

Both Grant and Darby doing the Jojo Siwa dance is sending me 😂😂

[@JonJon0131]

I wish my brother and I had this type of relationship. It'll never happen. Either way, at least you guys could rub that in people's faces. Lol. This is my favorite new Podcast.

[@VULNICURRA]

the straight one is hilarious ! the other one should take notes .

[@re2355]

Grant should check out Rhett and Link from Good Mythical Morning talk about their Spiritual Deconstruction. They grew up in North Carolina very Evangelical Christian, Campus Crusade for Christ all that jazz and their story is super interesting.

[@mackyrivera]

I’m falling in love with a straight guy again! Oh Grant 😍😘 Also, Darby gotta admit this idea of a podcast with your twin is turning into the best idea you’ve ever had

[@puppypundit]

Bereavement leave is mandated by the worker's compensation board (the equivalent of OSHA) here in Quebec. Totally bizarre to think that the USA doesn't offer it. Love to hear your twin-versations and 20 year catch-ups. Be well, you guys!

[@TheGryphyn]

Bereavement leave exists in the US, but it depends on what type of job you have/where you work

[@NettleAbsentmindedly]

It's left up to the states. Some states mandate it others don't. It's pretty ridiculous

[@TheGryphyn]

@@NettleAbsentmindedly I was pretty sure that was the case, about it being state decided. I know where I work, the bereavement leave is nearly exactly how it was said in the video. A certain amount of days depending on relation. Which is just strange

[@nana-wb2xh]

it’s wild, I’ve heard stories of people who got fired cause they had to call off to go to their own child’s funeral

[@sophiusdynami3401]

I like that god made a gay one and a straight one, so all those who like men are happy.

This has quickly became one of my fav podcast yall are hilarious together

[@showmetheropes650]

I can’t express how much I’m loving this pod. I love hearing Grant’s perspective on life knowing he used to have an in on religion. Are we getting a LA twinnuendo vlog??

[@manilaalasbaby]

usually i dont really care about podcasts, but for some reason, i really love listening to you both

[@christylane5107]

This is one of my favorite series on imho!

[@gloriacassidy-xl8nk]

I really love this talks. I also grew up in religiosity and it’s great to hear about. You guys are effortlessly funny. The stuff about death was fascinating. I want so many more of these

[@shwajo]

This is the podcast I always wanted and didn't even know it. Y'all. For real. I'm so mad this isn't already a few years old just so I could have more to catch up on. I hope this finds success and keeps going for a good long while, there's nothing else quite like it.

[@jakelizama6173]

I love hearing you both catch up. To hear how each of you saw different situations and hearing Grant talk about his life on here too is great. Genuinely loving this podcast!

Honestly this episodes are one of my highlights of the week!

@1:03:04-1:03:06 was the perfect moment to say "the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return"!!!

[@Peace2Mateo]

I really am enjoying these podcast episodes, we don't normally talk about these things but we should it's apart of life and some humor can be fount thru it via life's insanity.

[@JaneticsInk]

I love this. Please keep doing this pod!!!

[@midnashadow8439]

I love how the Darby's humor is so dry and it makes it so much funnier to watch

[@brando2233]

We had a chikfila next to my college and I still can remember how like half my bio class went and got in line. My friend and I had a big stack of HRC stickers, so we slapped them on a bunch of their cars. I haven’t eaten there at all since then either though.

[@dinkusoninkus]

Idk why but I didn’t think they’d have such good banter.

[@kevincote4561]

This is such a uniquely fascinating show I hope you guys keep it up realistically cuz I’m eating it up god damn!!!!!

[@Blasfamous8]

Great episode! I love the content being about real life shit and relatable issues! It doesn’t have to only be funny funny funny, thirds are relevant conversations and, as a Messy Queen super fan, it’s great getting to know Darby (and straight Darby) more intimately! Grant- my old company from NY actually had the same thing with regard to bereavement pay and the amount of paid time off being based on the relationship to the deceased. It’s quite common, actually. And Darby please let us know about Chik Fil A- I rely on you guys as my gay moral compass and if I can get some guilt free grub from them, I’m all over it… Also- are we just not posting this show on the Patreon after episode 1? Asking for a friend…

[@pleasenohandle]

Enjoying this so much. It's actually pretty interesting to see the same sense of humor in different flavors.

[@runeguidanceofthenorse]

My new FAVORITE podcast. Looooove. Best ever. Love you guys so much. ❤

[@kevylaw]

Really loving this podcast so far, as a queer man who was raised very Catholic its nice to hear other perspectives of how religion shaped peoples childhoods. Its nice to hear people went through similar things and I hope Grant knows he is loved by the IMHO community!

[@vincent_2232]

I love the power rangers talk! As a kid I was OBSESSED with the power rangers!!! So much so that when the blue ranger visited my martial arts studio when I was 5 I vomited everywhere because I was so excited and nervous to meet him

[@brandonspeake7]

Love these episodes so much!

[@Cordinbleu]

I work in a funeral home/cemetery office; I’ve done sales and now admin and it is wild how infrequently people think of death. Like it’s always a surprise, it’s always “it shouldn’t have happened”. It sometimes feels like we’re in a culture of violence without death. I’m so glad you two talked about this topic.

[@pandaboy5o]

The only experience I have of going to through the process of someone being on hospice and you being with them was my dad. He didn’t see to have what grant described as a death mask from my memory but omg the death rattle is what will stay with me. Like the breathing of a person close to death is like wild to hear for the first time.

[@SM-vd2iz]

Wonderful series so far and this is my favorite so far!

[@TXBRUXO]

I am loving this new Twinuendo thing 😍 y’all are hilarious!

[@albertqhumperdinck]

WHY ARE MY FEET HOT!!? LMAO!

[@ExtempAstro]

Darby youve found a gold mine in this pod. Grant: please play dress up with Darby. Sitting on a couple of side eye church stories, seriously considering sharing them on your voicemail. 💕

[@eduardorosa6239]

This is funny for me, because here in Brazil is common practice to have bonuses or time off when events or deaths happen.

[@ahaziahjoshua1397]

Grant answering each question like a pagent queen is hilarious

[@andyb5947]

Hi you two, I think I speak for the majority, when I say Brother John sounds like a stand up guy.

I really love Grant so much. Please do a drag look on him when he comes!

[@camogrrl]

Oh wow I had no idea I needed this until you said it!

[@foxtrapped]

Okay so I know you kept joking that this wasn't funny but it was! and also I think it's so important to talk about death and dying in all different ways and contexts. So glad Grant brought up how much we avoid death now - it makes the grieving process so much more difficult.

[@theembersinside1420]

Loving this pod. Loving Drew's t-shirt. Loving Grant's jokes. 🙏

Drew…Grant….I’m working on a deep-dive exploration on this entire Chick-fil-A saga, so you guys mentioning it…and it’s impact…and still questioning what is the appropriate stance today…plus the complicated feelings (or not) of watching others eating it… just made me so excited because I’m knee deep in it. Appreciate this new podcast. ❤

I’m obsessed with this podcast!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@rotcehb]

This podcast is incredible. Both are equally funny, there's a lot of interesting insight from both and they have similar deadpan humor which is really funny but honestly, what I liked the most is how both are open to just have a good talk and be honest. As a non christian (and kinda anti religion) person, what i like the most is the religion talk because there's a lot of interestig insight for us, who are not religious, to catch up and view things from a religious point of view. I know ot sounds complicated so to put it simple: just keep talking you straight/gay bros

[@caleba9648]

love the Dan McClellan mention this episode. Dan and the authors Bart Ehrman and Francesca Stavrakoupolou both helped me SO MUCH with my deconstruction

[@Olect]

I am loving the new podcast. With partner from a evangelical cult and my growing up queer and gender-fluid in the south, your stories really hit home. My most interesting death story was being an atheist learning the Lord’s Prayer and comforting phrases in German to say with a parent of a patient on Hospice. Being there for people in that last moment can be intense.

It’s true, I have a video of Darby swallowing 17.5 pigeons whole behind a Denny’s in 1994.
