This was a very difficult episode to record, let alone edit through tears. Dan's paternal grandmother died recently, and Ryan was kind enough to lend a sympathetic ear and a shoulder to cry on for more than two hours. It is definitely not our usual fare, so we hope you'll bear with us while we spend some time pushing through some crushing sadness as part of the grieving process.
Before her death, Dan hadn't seen his grandmother in more than four years after being disowned by his father who then told the rest of the family that they were to have no communication or relationship with Dan at all. This episode covers roughly the week surrounding her death, her funeral, complicated family dynamics, and a slew of other related miseries.
We'll be back with our usual schtick soon. In the meantime, be kind to yourselves and others.
