Granny Pottymouth - World Champ?
- English (US)
In one of the most unexpected and entertaining interviews we’ve ever done, Anthony sits down with the internet legend herself—Granny PottyMouth—to talk about her surprising past as a Country Dance World Champion in the Pro-Am division. Yep, before she was dropping viral one-liners and throwing down f-bombs in vegan cooking videos, she was learning Two Step at Denim & Diamonds and dancing with pros like Robert Royston and Tony Gooch. Granny shares how she got started in the bar scene, eventually found herself competing on the UCWDC circuit, and what it was like transitioning from social dancer to competitive champ… and then somehow becoming a viral comedy icon in her 70s. They talk about the joy of dancing, whether or not you should date your dance partner (Granny has thoughts), and how much your dance community knows your business. This one’s funny, real, and honestly kind of inspiring. If you’ve ever doubted whether dancing is for you—or worried you started “too late”—Granny’s story is the reminder we all need: it’s never too late to dance, go viral, or just make people laugh.
