"The One Where... They Read From The Notebook" isn't your typical tear-jerker (though Grant probably wished it was). In this revealing episode, The Angry Ginger unearths a nine-year-old notebook - and yes, we're absolutely certain about that timeline, as Grant fact-checks it approximately seventeen times. What starts as Jason flipping through old podcast ideas and show concepts quickly turns into an unexpected time capsule of vulnerability. Tucked between creative brainstorms and the early seeds of what would become "Deconstructing Dad," lies something Grant has been hunting for like a truth-seeking missile: evidence that his seemingly unflappable friend once grappled with the same dark questions that keep him up at night. Through pages of raw introspection, we witness Jason's past self wrestling with questions that would make any therapist's notepad weep: "Will I ever be loved again?" and the eternal quest of "What is happiness and how to find it?" The crown jewel of this literary excavation? A one-year plan that begins with the hilariously self-deprecating goal to "do a sit-up because he's a fata**!" (Spoiler alert: He's done at least three since then.) Grant, like a kid who just found out Santa is real (plot twist!), can barely contain his excitement at this glimpse behind the curtain of Jason's comedic armor. His "Where has this book been my whole life!?" reaction perfectly captures the moment when you realize your friend's class clown routine might have been masking some serious soul-searching. But here's the kicker - Jason reveals these thoughts were likely meant for his "Deconstructing Dad" podcast, during a period when Grant was too preoccupied with his own chaos to tune in. In classic Angry Ginger fashion, Jay lands the episode's most pointed jab with a laugh: "Maybe if you were a better friend and listened to my podcast, you would have known all this years ago." Sometimes the best therapy sessions happen when you're reading old notebooks with a friend who's been waiting nine years to say "I told you so." But wait, there's more! Just when you think the vulnerability hour is wrapping up, Grant whips out "The 10 Questions" from his sadly departed but deeply missed "The Stranger Conversations" podcast. Jason, still slightly salty about never receiving an invitation to this apparently prestigious show (no, he's not holding a grudge... much), initially refuses to play along. But Grant, master of selective memory, plays innocent while Jay sees right through it like a freshly Windexed window. What follows is Grant's attempt at serious, soul-searching questions designed to peel back the layers of human nature... met with what can only be described as peak Angry Ginger responses. But we're not giving away the goods here - you'll have to press play to witness this masterclass in question-dodging and sass-mastery for yourself. As always, thank you for spending your valuable time with us. We hope that by sharing our struggles and pain through both serious and decidedly less-serious conversations, we're making your day a little brighter... or at least giving you an hour's worth of distraction from whatever chaos you're currently calling normal. Keep listening, keep laughing, and remember - sometimes the best therapy comes with a side of snark. ***Only Two more episodes left for the season.

In this recurring series, Kevin explores some of the brightest ideas and insightful lessons that his guests have shared with him on the podcast, and why they've continued to inspire him ever since. One thing that uniquely positions a coach to be of great service to their clients is an unexpected combination of characteristics that make them what I sometimes call The Familiar Stranger. Though close relationships - friends and family - may know you incredibly well, it is often difficult to open up in the ways you need most to someone so near and dear to you. What a coach can provide is the empathy and connection of a loved one with the distance and safety of someone you barely know…not to mention the lack of “baggage” that might come with the history of a longstanding relationship. :) To learn more about the podcast, please visit: https://boxer.agency/conversations-with-coaches/

The rules still remain the same: no sport, no politics, no math. But some other things have changed, like, this is now a Guest Based show!? Yes. And Grant Markham is the first! You should know him from many podcasts, including Seven Days A Geek and The Stranger Conversations. Look, the whole point of this is You Don't Need To Know Him, You Have ME! But I'll introduce you, I guess. You'll learn about that hair on his face, how he handles my awkward questions, learn if he would sacrifice his limbs to save space aliens, find out how he defines SKURDLE, TWIZEN and TUNGLE, and of course, take witness as he gets struck by Lightning Round.
