The Trunk Tales Ep 10 | The Rise of Grimzy

Episode 10 of The Trunk Tales takes it back to the very beginning — a special re-release from the He’s Wrong She’s Right archives.

Hosts Andrew Lemacks and Grimzy sit down for the original conversation that started it all — before The Trunk Tales even existed. This is the origin story of Grimzy, the now-infamous content creator whose rapid rise on X and TikTok brought together a massive online community built on humor, truth, and grit.

In this episode, Andrew and Grimzy talk about content creation, timing, audience growth, the balance between humor and reality, and what it means to stay authentic in an algorithm-driven world. You’ll hear how The Trunk Tales was born out of late-night ideas, long conversations, and a shared belief in saying what others won’t.
