About this Episode

Haunted Safeways, Redwoods & Medieval Mayhem

The Grit City crew is back for another Saturday Night Grit, and this one goes from ghost stories to giant trees to dudes beating the hell out of each other in medieval armor.

Mike, Scott, and C-Note hold down the fort while Jeff sends dispatches from across the pond. Between exploring London, touring haunted Edinburgh, visiting Harry Potter attractions, and somehow getting locked inside an English bathroom, Jeff's European adventure is already delivering plenty of entertainment.

Back home, the guys dive into paranormal experiences, including a potentially haunted Safeway, Tacoma ghost tours, and the age-old question: are ghosts real, or is your brain just messing with you?

C-Note shares his epic solo road trip down the Oregon Coast and into Northern California's redwood forests, stopping at historic shipwrecks, The Goonies filming locations, Thor's Well, and some of the biggest damn trees he's ever seen.

And because no Grit City episode stays on track for long, the conversation takes a hard left into old-school photography, digital hoarding, smart dust technology, AI paranoia, and the surprisingly brutal world of armored MMA.

Throw in medieval weapons, questionable walking sticks, and a visit to the original geocache location, and you've got another beautifully unhinged episode of Grit City Podcast.

Ghosts, road trips, tiny robots, and armored combat. Just another night in Grit City.
