The Days Grimm Podcast
The Days Grimm, "arguably Indiana's most comical, thrilling, and controversial podcast", This three-pronged mandate acts as a primary filter for their guest selection. The "comical" aspect is reflected in its official genre of "COMEDY INTERVIEWS" and its history of hosting local stand-up comedians. The "thrilling" component is evident in interviews with individuals who have extraordinary life stories, such as people who survived shootings, rare medical conditions, and combat. Finally, the "controversial" element is demonstrated by Brian & Thomas’ willingness to engage in difficult or unfiltered conversations, touching on topics like homelessness, artificial intelligence, and religious hypotheticals.
A crucial element of the show's tone is its tagline, "Brought to you by Sadness & ADHD (non-medicated)". This self-aware and raw positioning signals a modern comedic sensibility that embraces vulnerability and finds humor in personal struggle. The podcast's brand is not built on polished narratives but on the authentic, often messy, intersection of hardship and humor. The most compelling guests are those who have navigated a "Grimm" reality and emerged with a story to tell, and ideally, a sense of humor about it. This dynamic is the core of the show's appeal and the primary filter for identifying a story worth telling.

In this "thrilling" episode of The Days Grimm, hosts Brian Michael Day and Thomas Grimm (back with his voice!) take a deep dive into the cosmos to discuss the latest in lunar exploration: the Artemis 2 mission. This episode, affectionately dubbed "Space Boiz," moves from the local boxing ring at Guns N' Hoses straight into the stratosphere to break down how NASA is sending humans back to the moon for the first time in over 50 years.
We start with the technical marvel of the Orion capsule. Brian and Thomas compare the 330-cubic-foot living space—roughly the size of their recording studio—to the reality of four astronauts spending ten days together in space. The conversation covers the incredible precision of splashdown timing and the "interstellar plumbing" required when space toilets go wrong.
The "Space Boiz" also tackle the darker side of space interest: the viral conspiracy theories and AI-generated fakes. We look into why Artemis 2 didn't actually snap high-res photos of the original Apollo 11 footprints and why physics (and arc seconds) makes those viral social media posts impossible.
Whether you're a "space nerd" who spends hours on Space Flight Simulator or someone who just wonders how astronauts pee in zero-G, this episode has something for you. We explore the distance of 694,481 miles covered during the mission and discuss the future of lunar South Pole landings.
