Pop 'n' Jay

Join Pop, Jay and several family members as we reflect on our patriarch, Robert Dean Grinstead, on what would have been his 95th birthday. Eternal rest, grant unto him, O Lord. May perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

In this latest and greatest episode of Pop n Jay, we discuss the downfall of civilization otherwise known as Artificial Intelligence. What used to be just an annoying robot named Alexa who controlled our lights while spying on us for Jeff Bezos has now become omnipresent algorithms interwoven into every aspect of our lives. The age of reality being unbelievable is upon us, and we discuss what this...

It's been awhile since we got together to discuss the comings and goings of our land, which means Jess definitely has another baby. Pop is celebrating his Marine Corps' 250th birthday by discussing the plague on mankind that is communism with his daughter, who never met a commie she didn't want to punch. Listen up listen-uppers to this latest and greatest episode of THE Pop n Jay sh...

Pop n Jess get together again to discuss the transcendentals and how they are being applied (and ignored) in our modern society. Are we a hare's breath from complete cultural collapse or will God be merciful on us with another American golden age? Maybe our most influential artistic awakening has yet to occur, but first we have to turn away from the sludge that infests our minds. Mmmm....slud...

Pop n Jay get together in this Advent season to talk about what this season is really all about, Charlie Brown. O come, o come Pop n Jay listeners! 

Pop n Jay got back together for a post-election discussion on everything from joy to despair, empathy to anger, TDS to PTSD. There's so much to celebrate post election 2024, but a lot of people close to us are feeling lost right now, so how are we to navigate these times as Christians? Join us for a unique spin on the deciding right wing victory of 2024 plus commemorate Veteran's Day 202...

On Ladders and Life! From reading OSHA safety regulations to insulting moral relativists, this philosophy sesh with Pop is a great way to spend a half hour. In analogizing the three points of contact on a ladder to our own preparedness for all life throws at us, Pop gives us all lots to consider here as we steer our ships to our ultimate destination. 

Some might say the standards are too low for those waiting for animated films that don't have propaganda seeping from every pixel, but we say WAHOOO! a good ol' fashioned romp through Rainbow Road is just what the Doctor Mario ordered! Join us for a light-hearted review of the biggest film of the year. 

What's another year off between friends? Glad you're here to join Pop n Jay as they pick up where they left off philosophizing about BIG topics like TRUTH, BEAUTY, and GOODNESS. Of course, in this vale of tears, we also have LIES, UGLINESS, and EVIL, otherwise known as the AWFUL. Join us for a romp through the muck and mire of life; we've got ideas for not just coping with it all, b...

Gloria in excelsis deo! In this episode, we talk to Pop about his novel, Guardian Dear,  and answer some hard hitting questions about the primary characters in that book: angels! We get into some touchy subjects, like the fact that humans can never be angels (or vice versa), whether angels have wings or not and if angels really are in the outfield. Alright, we never got to that last one, but there...

Pop n Jess are BACK and BETTER THAN EVER! If not better, we are, at least, BACK. Kinda like Backstreet Boys. Back and then back again. Or maybe we're like Bilbo. There and back again. Anyway, the time is at hand to talk about the hand of time and how at hand it is to be talking about timely matters. Sorry, I was channeling Kamala Harris there. We are talking about KIDS and the culture WAR rag...

2021 is here and he told 2020 to hold his beer. Somehow (cough, cough) Biden and the leftists did it. They hold all the power in this nation, from "elected" to big tech, media to wall street, sea to shining sea--it's all statism all the time these days.  You thought one mask was annoying? 2021 and the left have an answer for you: how about 2? 3? You thought a few executive orders in...

Hellllllo music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain. Welcome to another exciting excursion into podcast excellence...or at least an attempt at such. Pop and Jess devote this episode to discussing the bigggggg voice on the right. Rush Limbaugh meant so much to so many, and his passing has left an unfillable hole in this world. Join us as we reminisce about our de...

Pop n Jay have a brief chat about the state of things in our land o' the free home of the depraved. Where do we go from here? What can we do? We chat about the  circus in Minnesota, the media malpractice, the disparagement of law enforcement and how we all can keep moving forward. 

To worry is human, to podcast about it DIVINE. Well, maybe not divine exactly, but Pop and Jess are back trying to elevate their worried games to a more spiritual level on this episode. With all the lockdown smackdown going down right now, there's definitely a lot to fret over, but don't worry, we have got several tips and tricks to get you out of your head and back in the game. 

There could never be a meme meme-y enough to convey the insanity of 2020...and we are barely at the halfway point. This week's episode involves throwing Molotov cocktails at rando police officers in the name of justice or racism or freeing Tibet. Pick your virtue to signal and get your riot on! America (as always) is suffering a whole lotta fools who just can't help but hate everything (...

Happy early Independence Day to one and all, be you patriotic peace lover or miscreant malcontent. We discuss America being under siege as the woefully ignorant rioters continue to burn down symbols of freedom, liberty and Christianity from sea to shining sea. We must stay vigilant against this insurrection, so we try to help motivate and arm as battle rages on. Join us before Big Brother erases t...

Every generation thinks they are living in the end times, but we are the first to be right about it! JK kind of...if there were ever a more pressing need for heroes, I don't envy those living through it. Our world is riddled with ridiculousness and the time for heroism is at hand. The call is coming from inside the country! RISE UP! MEN OF THE WEST! 

Wow! We actually did it--we finally recorded a podcast. Enjoy our musings about this first week's topic: The Blessed Trinity.

If you thought one episode was bananas b-a-n-a-n-a-s, well this time around we talk about...ANIMALS. From the cute and fluffy to the yucky and slimy, who's making the cut into the pearly gates? Find out our oh-so-important-opinions on this episode!

Third times a charm...and this charmer is all about God's pokemon--er, superheroes--SAINTS. That's right! Halloween used to mean something before our society shunned the virtuous origin story for it's current morbid, scandalous one. Join us, won't you, as we try to CATCH 'EM ALL!

Oh, say can you see how awesome this episode is? Today we discuss if America is just another place for humans to live, laugh and watch Dancing With the Stars or if is she is special and worth fighting elitist socialist morons for?

How dare you say that my spray-painted self-portrait from the boardwalk in Santa Cruz is less "meaningful" than that French sad-sack impressionist's bowl of sunflowers? Don't you know the old saying, "to each their own," or "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," or how about, "suck it." Is there some objective truth to what makes "good"...

WILL you join us for our episode that WILL be all about that most unique, compelling, important, badly abused part of the human person: the WILL? Why do some people seem naturally to have a stronger will than others? Why have we not evolved to have stronger wills by now hippies? And why is Tebow so awesome? Join us as we ponder these questions and more!

Join us as we reminisce on the good times of 2015--some specific to our family and some the whole world enjoyed. From Donald Trump to The Avengers, 2015 was certainly a memorable trip around the sun.
