And was fatherhood really all that he had expected it to be? Is it harder than what he had expected? Or is it kind of right where he had expected it to be? Or had he even planned, or did he even know?
Exactly. Who is he, some non-gay, to come into OUR space, a visitor in OUR space, and tell us what we should hate?! Our favorite thing to do is hate. Don’t tell us how to hate. lol love Grant and love Darby dragkinging as a mature twink.
I think Grant underestimates how healing it is to hear people who have been through similar tough experiences and working through it. This is a great podcast
My advice on the format (not that you asked) is that you should keep it like this. More freeform, that is. I think every new podcast tries too hard to legitimize its existence with some new format or gimmick. At most, maybe have a general topic for the episode when you run out of "catching up" stories. Love the episode!
As a southern ex-evangelical, I love all the stories!! I don't hate the idea of the "Darby tells grant about a gay thing, grant tells darby about a straight thing" but the catching up and reminiscing to get the pod going is working swimmingly IMHO wink wink nudge nudge
“I`m the gay one“ “and I`m not!“ is such a *perfect* zippy intro-outro catchphrase. S-tier catchphrase! Simple but effective. Also the podcast in between the catchphrases is excellent! I can`t wait to hear more! I feel like I sound like AI saying it this way, but it`s a really unique and insightful combo of viewpoints to consider, and it`s also darkly funny and regular funny and charming!
I relate to feeling like I sound like AI when I try to give deep genuine compliments😭 I think you sound human and I agree, I love "I'm the gay one, I'm not". Iconic
@@albertqhumperdinck same I started being paranoid about it a few years ago. I'm still trying to get over feeling like I'm typing/saying gibberish. Probably has smth to do with my ASD and how I interpret words
@@Piddypng I feel you 100%, neurodivergent high-five! (ADHD here.) I feel like half the time I`m being sarcastic on purpose, and the other half I`m being super sincere, worried that people are going to read me as sarcastic! But you know what, hey, we are out here, talkin`, speaking our minds, and if people can`t figure it out, then they ought to listen more carefully!
I liked the serious church stuff talk, it's so healing and comforting to hear that even an ex pastor has dealt with religious trauma it was very interesting (the viewer stories idea sounds pretty good btw) love the show ❤
People aren't going to want to listen to this, Grant?! People aren't going to want to listen to the the politics of the middle school church theater system?! Wrong, Grant. WE LOVE THIS. WE LIVE FOR THIS!
Almost teared up hearing Grant talk about parenting… 🥹 what an amazing father!! Such a beautiful way to summarize a parent’s wishes for their child 👏🏼 He’s wrong about the podcast though 🤣 it’s so wonderful! Keep ‘em coming please 🙏🏼💙
Omg yall made me cry. As an awful gay who left the church, and found my chosen family, learning about true unconditional love vs the "love" from the church (religious family) has been something so valuable. "Transactional" is such the right term for that. I was always so drained and depleted, not being my true self to secure a love that always was conditional. Love this journey. Thanks for sharing it. ❤❤❤
I was really touched by Grant and Darby discussing their similar traumas of being suddenly fired from places that were so connected to their self-identities and the search for new meaning and community. Thank you both for your candour in sharing these stories, I can’t wait for more episodes.
This is by far one of the best podcasts to come to the internet in a long time. I want to hear more about your religious views as it feels very vulnerable and real.
I really do appreciate the part of Darby talking about the community supporting Darby after Bar REDACTED and what the IMHO community has been able to do, especially with supporting various organizations, and I also loved the part of telling the kids to just be themselves, a complete person (whatever form or shape that takes) and to just be the reason someone believes that there's still good people out in the world, and I love where this podcast is heading
As a British country side f@g who lived in a very small town but didn't feel the presence of fanatic or religious groups. The church was just something, if you considered yourself religious, you just went to on Christmas mass or easter or whatever but was never pushed on us as children (apart from hymns in school assembly) I am so interested to hear this dynamic of stories and how it was such a apart of your upbringing and makes me so mad you have and still do have to battle something that was so invasively thrown onto you. You both are making me smile so much with your sense of humour I love to see it.
Been an atheist since I was 13, so grateful for honest parents. Couldn't be happier to not be worried about a sky daddy reading my mind and condemning me to eternal pain and suffering. 💖
Awww, Darby we love you back! I’m so glad you feel that there’s a community for you here. We’re so happy to have you! And Alexis, and Grant! ❤ This podcast is honestly amazing. I’m in tears
I wasn't gay, but I was a Southern Baptist, president of my Sunday School class because I was such a goody-goody. I was convinced the 2nd Coming was just around the corner and worried I'd be stuck inside a building so couldn't be raptured up! Every time I heard something like a crescendo in the sky (on TV, maybe musical thunder, etc) I'd run out into the yard and Wait For It.
OMG I love this. Thank you both for being so open and trusting us to listen and support you. And Darby, thank you in advance for editing an incredible episode all about Grant's DragCon debut.
this straight Darby out of drag is such a fascinating specimen. I cannot wait to hear more of his stories about preaching under a highway 75 underpass for bitcoin.
I say this with the most respeck and admiration…Its like watching the same guy in two separate dimensions talk to himself through a portal. I’m happy you guys are reconnecting (? unsure if its a bit) and getting closer. You’re both great and funny fellas!
As someone who grew up atheist, hearing you two talk about your upbringing and Grant's experience in the church is so so fascinating. Absolutely heartbreaking too of course, but still fascinating! And its so heartwarming to hear Grant now talk about his family and how he wants his kids to grow up. Loved this episode, looking forward to the next! Death=Lady
Listening to your reflections on your childhood and experiences in the church is like watching my own life flash before my eyes. t's astounding how much we have in common due to the surgical precision of oppression and guilt wielded by organized religion. I really wish we could chat about it. Thank you for doing this show. A big hug to both of you. -- Dr. Daniel
As a fellow gay raised Southern Baptist, some of what Darby says is literally my exact experience. I felt like I was single-handedly holding off the rapture growing up and boy did that certainly add to the religious trauma. I also need Grant to know that I am watching with undivided attention on these!
I really enjoyed the episode. It’s incredibly relatable to someone who grew up on a Southern Baptist home in Mississippi. Please, keep talking about it. It feels like a support group.
Darby saying that his straight brother may have never experienced unconditional love, like those in the LGBTQ+ get to feel (from their own) was both incredibly insightful and painful to hear. Entertainment AND healing? 😭😭 Thanks you two.
Just want to say I love IMHO in general, but Ive been ADORING twinnuendo. Hearing both of your outlooks has been amazing and made me realize how similar our experiences have been. Grant will soon realize how here for it we are!! Great pod guys
I love these episodes. Slowly sneaking to be top listens of the week. Your brother healing time is actually motivating mine and my siblings work through our differences. We love you 🫶🏼
twinnuendo is becoming my favorite podcast quite quickly 😮💨 the twin dynamic is dynamicing. Would love to see Grant’s idea about people who grew up religious leaving voicemails brought to fruition. I (thankfully) grew up in a non-religious household, and hearing your guys’ experiences with the church in this format is very entertaining. Can’t wait for ep 3 🥰
I’m loving this new podcast! I relate to your experiences with the church and it’s beautiful how Grant is raising his kids to not fear hell and not constantly worry about death. I had so much anxiety and fear as a kid… no child deserves to grow up that way
You are hitting gold with this podcast. Loving the freeform discussions. It's healing in a way coming from someone who has a very similar story and would wish to be able to speak to their family like this. Thanks for sharing.l!
Tbh this is slowly becoming one of my fav podcasts. You both have such amazing dry wit that makes it incredibly easy to flow to more serious topics without feeling jaring. Y'alls story is also so equally heartbreaking and heartwarming. I think it's a really important one to hear. ❤
Hey, I am very thankful both of are doing this. There's a charm and ease about the conversations, with moments of arresting quiet beauty. I am personally invested in what you have to share and your new trajectories. I hope you find your community and versions of love that was always there with you. Keep on keeping on. ❤
This is now my favorite podcast. I grew up as a gay guy in an evangelical charismatic mega church in Atlanta. It's really good to hear that 1. I'm not the only one who's been hurt and 2. I'm not the only one who's moved on and found another life.
Please keep this going!! I absolutely love to see you guys reconnect. It’s honestly so healing to hear about both of your experiences in and out of the church
This was so entertaining and meaningful for me. Thank you both. Growing up in a liberal, godless family in the northeast I can’t even imagine how I would have coped with all the damaging beliefs constantly being constantly bandied about by these lunatic fundamentalists. I don’t think I would have survived it, if I’m honest. Content like this is so important
You two have already become one of my absolute favourite shows! Is it maybe something to do with the rejection so many queer folk experience with their families that means we can identify with Darby? Then with Grant we see what we feel we "missed out" - but then with his new journey and everything going on, it's so beautiful and affirming to see you having this relationship together Honestly, I'll probably watch whatever you two talk about, but there's something so joyously wholesome about you just reminiscing with (often dark) stories
Love this podcast! And I grew up in church with a pastor family. Oh the stories I have of their crazy mess! I have a very religious aunt that has recently went nutty and has been catfished by men online. She’s broke now. And they think gay is a mental illness. how the tables turn.
I’ve been absolutely LOVING the pod, been a fan of Darby for a while now but Grant is equally compelling, witty, and fun. Also in terms of next week’s topic, I’m a funeral director and would love to hear Grant’s perspective.
I subbed to IMHO for the hilarious clips and shade, but Twinnuendo has become an instant favorite for me now that I've started watching it. As the queer son of a southern baptist preacher, watching these videos is ridiculously healing for me. Thank you so much for having these conversations and sharing them with us
Heyo, fellow Grant here - not gonna get into deep detail because that would be trauma dumping and that’s lame but can’t say enough how much I’m loving this podcast, all the way down to the stories my fellow Grant in arms (it truly is a war we fight against the Greg’s and Garrett’s we get mistaken for when giving our name in customer service venues) thinks no one will want to listen to. So happy you guys are doing this. It’s fascinating and I deeply relate. Keep ‘em coming!
As a religiously-raised (Catholic) agnostic with a kid, we're going the Bible-as-mythology direction, answering all questions as part of a larger world-religions thing. Religious stuff is everywhere in America and understanding "some people tell this story" can go a long way to interpreting the world realistically with kindness.
This is truly the podcast we need. So many of us in the queer community have experienced religious trauma. Hearing your differing thoughts on shared experiences impacted by family dynamics and religious restrictions throughout your formative years is truly fascinating. I do think this is needed discussion for many. Thank you ❤
Lady Darby and Mister Darby knocking it out of the park yet again. Honestly, Grant, this is exactly what I need to hear right now. I have gotten back to a really rocky spot in my intrapersonal relationship and communication because I have not been able to understand why I see love as a transactional exchange and you opened my eyes. We were always told that God’s love is unconditional, but it is in fact VERY conditional and transactional. I have been searching for ways to fill the void in myself that used to home the religious part of my identity for well over a decade now, and thanks to you, it’s all making sense. Thank you for letting us be a part of this beautiful journey you share, and thank you for putting your experiences out there because they are really helping some of us heal. Also rip Winnie, sounded like a rootin tootin gal.
I was sincerely moved by this pod. Keep this level of authenticity going!!! I won’t ever get over y’all being twins who look the same but are such different people who love each other! I love the healing journey you’re on! Wishing you so much more!!!!! 🫶🏽
Grant, i would tell you to shut up about your skepticism of whether anyone wants to listen to this but i dont want you go shut up because i thoroughly enjoy listening to yo two talk about your experiences. Listening is an act of love, so let us love you!
Also, I think it's super interesting just to hear y'all reminisce and hear the different perspectives of the same upbringing. I'm really enjoying the show 😃
and baby,
if you’re not watching IMHO: The Show Twinnuendo, you’re only getting half the Darby
It really is a Double Mint commercial series. 😂
Grant is basically Darby in Comic Sans
💀
😂😂😂😂😂
Comic Sans was the first font designed for digital.
Darby and Other Darby have really great chemistry together!
It seems like they’re so connected for years now despite them being a new duo 😂
I absolutely LIVE for all the “other darby” comments 💀
Can Grant talk more about his experience with church, and how he decided to leave, and how he left? What changed his mind?
Wondering this too! Would love to hear what “switched” for him, seems like he really did a 180
I was wondering this too, and what his wife thought of him leaving
i would Love to hear this tooo!!!
And was fatherhood really all that he had expected it to be? Is it harder than what he had expected? Or is it kind of right where he had expected it to be? Or had he even planned, or did he even know?
@@blojosh im giggling at your comment lmaaaoo
Grant, respectfully, you couldn’t be more wrong.
This is now my favourite podcast, I am loving hearing about your family junk.
Exactly. Who is he, some non-gay, to come into OUR space, a visitor in OUR space, and tell us what we should hate?! Our favorite thing to do is hate. Don’t tell us how to hate.
lol love Grant and love Darby dragkinging as a mature twink.

Completely agree. ❤

I think every new podcast tries too hard to legitimize its existence with some new format or gimmick. At most, maybe have a general topic for the episode when you run out of "catching up" stories. Love the episode!
I do love a gimmick that is just barely followed
I can't help thinking "okay, girlboss, you better fart" when you talked about your grandma!
I don't think Grant realizes how fascinating and entertaining he is, I hope this pod blows up so he can see that!
How did I go from “I have to lauffff” to “oh….this is what generational healing is” what a great dad Grant is.
“Sorry about that brother, you missed out” “did I…?” I just did a spit take 💀
So interesting to hear about the same events from two opposite perspectives, please do that more!
Latest parasocial relationship just dropped 💖
GURL...
“Have you ever held a dead infant?” *thumbs up* “no but I’d love to” lmaoo this podcast is too much I love it 😂love yall🩷
so you want us to believe the one who did a Liza Minelli impression in the first 3 minutes is the straight one??
As a southern ex-evangelical, I love all the stories!! I don't hate the idea of the "Darby tells grant about a gay thing, grant tells darby about a straight thing" but the catching up and reminiscing to get the pod going is working swimmingly IMHO wink wink nudge nudge
"Pete Moss is a fertilizer, and then you turned out to be a piece of shit" HUMBLE HER, GRANT!!! 😂😂😂
"If there's not a chance that I'm not gonna find a c-section scar on ya.. move on" 😂😂😂

You're actively processing grief and trauma in such an honest and beautiful way. Thank you for sharing
The growing up evangelical stories are fascinating because you really don't realize how crazy it was until you think or talk about it as an adult.

12:30- "Sound a little bit like Dad right now."
"Thank you."
😂😂🤣
The c section scar comment LOLOL that took me off guard and it was so funny 😂
Grant sounds like a great dad
As a fellow x-fundie, I love listening to your experience. It's cathartic. Plus, you two make me laugh. Thanks for that and Keep On Truckin'.
This is by far one of the best podcasts to come to the internet in a long time. I want to hear more about your religious views as it feels very vulnerable and real.
this twin podcast is becoming one of my favorite podcast actually! love the gay and one thats not :)
Actually is the “Not” one 😅

I love this show so much, welcome aboard Grant! 💞
“I’m terminal” “Goodbye 🙂”
Introverts are some of the best actors!
Awww, Darby we love you back! I’m so glad you feel that there’s a community for you here. We’re so happy to have you! And Alexis, and Grant! ❤ This podcast is honestly amazing. I’m in tears
Would love an episode with Grant talking about his experiences dying/dead people!
I wasn't gay, but I was a Southern Baptist, president of my Sunday School class because I was such a goody-goody. I was convinced the 2nd Coming was just around the corner and worried I'd be stuck inside a building so couldn't be raptured up!

So happy episode 2 is here and that it’s longer than episode 1! This is my new favourite podcast
Grant’s “Unsubscribe” after Darby’s I love you ❤️ 😅😅
OMG I love this. Thank you both for being so open and trusting us to listen and support you.
And Darby, thank you in advance for editing an incredible episode all about Grant's DragCon debut.
I desperately want to hear all of Grant’s pastor stories I find pastors so fascinating!
this straight Darby out of drag is such a fascinating specimen. I cannot wait to hear more of his stories about preaching under a highway 75 underpass for bitcoin.

Havent watched IMHO in months because I dont really keep up with Drag Race anymore but Im loving this podcast so far
I love how you two are so different, but your sense of humor is the same. 10/10
Listening to your reflections on your childhood and experiences in the church is like watching my own life flash before my eyes. t's astounding how much we have in common due to the surgical precision of oppression and guilt wielded by organized religion. I really wish we could chat about it. Thank you for doing this show. A big hug to both of you. -- Dr. Daniel
Can’t believe the straight one was first to make a Liza reference!

I felt like I was single-handedly holding off the rapture growing up and boy did that certainly add to the religious trauma. I also need Grant to know that I am watching with undivided attention on these!
The childhood photos during the intro? LOVE!!! so excited y’all are really doing this!!!
I really enjoyed the episode. It’s incredibly relatable to someone who grew up on a Southern Baptist home in Mississippi. Please, keep talking about it. It feels like a support group.
Grant underestimates how interested we've been in Darby's family/childhood stories over the years. Enjoying the show!
That was amazing , it doesn't have to always be funny. Excited for the next episode !
Darby saying that his straight brother may have never experienced unconditional love, like those in the LGBTQ+ get to feel (from their own) was both incredibly insightful and painful to hear. Entertainment AND healing? 😭😭 Thanks you two.
Yesss!! An arrested development reference!!
I am absolutely ADORING the podcast! Thank y'all for letting us be a part of your catching up. ❤

Seeing and hearing a father talk so proudly about his kids and genuinely wanting to do right by them is so healing.

Also, I think it's super interesting just to hear y'all reminisce and hear the different perspectives of the same upbringing. I'm really enjoying the show 😃
