Welcome back to The Days Grimm Studio! In today’s episode, Brian Michael Day and Thomas Grimm are joined by the one and only Zach Pollard for what might be his last local appearance for a while. We’re catching up on everything that’s happened since the team moved into the new studio back in December.

Zach opens up about his major life update: he’s packing up and moving to Wilmington, North Carolina, to live by the beach. We dive into the geopolitical risks of moving, the potential for hurricanes in his new hometown, and why he’s choosing the coast over Mexico.

The conversation takes a hilarious turn as Zach details his "elemental" lifestyle, defending the quirks of his Honda Element

We also get an inside look at the chaos of local stand-up comedy. Zach recounts a recent show at Six Strings that went from a predicted 30 people to a packed house of nearly 140, forcing him to move 100 chairs and the stage itself right before his set. He shares the nerve-wracking experience of performing "edgy" material—including his infamous Casey Anthony jokes—in front of a crowd that included a woman from his hometown who had experienced a personal tragedy.

From farm town rumors and rabbit-raising at home to deep-dive conspiracy theories about US infrastructure and the rise of AI, this episode covers the wild, the weird, and the witty.
