“Were you sad when David Blaine died?” asks Goldie, opening a fun hectic family pod episode. We realize she’s thinking of Houdini, and move on to cover growing up watching Nathan Fielder, generational concepts of gender, Big Mouth, getting the sex talk from your parents, and then do a listen through to Ben’s new album “This One’s for the Old Headz” OUT TODAY. We reflect on the themes of growing up, nostalgia, being friends with freaks and not giving up the fight.For more info sign up to our free Weirder Together email list https://weirdertogether.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.
