Starting point is 00:00:00 Ghost Towns, Dirty Angel, out now. You can get Dirty Angel anywhere you get your music. Ghost Towns, Dirty Angel, out now. New album and tour date coming this summer. I try to put you down. Cause I know it's usin'. Then I pick you back up and start puffin' again. You're a little bit like a devil and a little bit like my free friend.
Starting point is 00:00:35 I don't care that you might be makin' me sick. I don't care that you look like R2-D2's dick. Just wanna pull my vape juice in and start blowin' clouds again. Drippin' juice, flight was off the rack, modern trigger box. Voltage has been hacked, we can't escape. The steam that we vape, trains off the tracks. We became what we spate, a theory of cumulonimbus. Can't comprehend the clouds that sting us.
Starting point is 00:01:10 We float, we fly, we puff, puff, puff until we die, die, die. I'm just a clown in the clouds. All thunder and lightning, rain never touch the ground. Wise men say, well when the fools rush in. Wise men say, slow down or you'll forget your vape pin. Leave the club to go to a gas station. Then you gotta go back again. Got my vape box ready to rip.
Starting point is 00:01:42 I'm gonna ride it like a skateboard. Take a little trip, blamboon, puff, spray it to the moon. Can't see the sky, it's all spellin' dooms. We did and we're back again, same place we started. Only got one question and that's, who farted? It wasn't me, I don't blow that kind of cloud. Who farted? We reached the destination, you're gonna have to get out.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Who farted? It wasn't me. See you later, have a great night. Fucking asshole. That was ethereal cumulonimbus by Reginald Anderson Peter and Colonel French Daisy and also you might have noticed that Johnny Pemberton was featured in this track which is now actually number 15 on the Davidson part charts
Starting point is 00:02:40 and that is incredible for Johnny. I'm really excited for his success. Of course, you can say that you knew him before he rose to hip hop fame because you follow his Twitch stream which is twitch.tv. Please, will you just follow his Twitch? Press pause on this thing, unmount your lover and climb out of the bathtub and splash on into your living room
Starting point is 00:03:07 or kitchen or bedroom where your computer is type in twitch.tv slash Johnny Pemberton then hop back into your love tub. This is a very intimate episode today friends, maybe too intimate. Actually, I don't know, you do a podcast too long and you stop being able to tell, you know, for my breeder friends out there, you're probably aware of the fact that this isn't exactly like the best time in human history
Starting point is 00:03:34 to be raising kids or to be married or to not be married or just to be a human. You know, I think one of the satanic things and this is not a hot take but truly one of the satanic things about Instagram or anything where people are taking pictures of themselves is it just doesn't tell the whole truth and you can get fooled. You look and you see some beautiful person basking about on some exotic beach.
Starting point is 00:04:01 You're on the toilet. You've got a combination of oatmeal and applesauce, puke, all over your shirt. You're already late to drop the kid off at school. You're just looking at him. How beautiful they look. How beautiful that fucking sand looks. And you think, wow.
Starting point is 00:04:23 I hope I'm alright. I think I took too much psyllium husk. While they're out there, lounging around some beautiful exotic beach. I'm having a weird bowel movement in the mountains while I'm covered in baby puke. Do I even exist anymore? We vaguely contemplated editing this one but we're just gonna throw it out there.
Starting point is 00:04:46 I think it's a really good one actually. So we're gonna jump right into it. But first, this. Friends, listen. If you're sleeping on an old fucking mattress it would be better that a millstone was tied to your foot and you were thrown into a caldera filled with a combination lava
Starting point is 00:05:07 and boiling sewage. Sleeping on a bad bed is a dark thing to do to yourself. You finally get to dive back into the collective mind and have a few hours of non-existence but you spend those few hours on something that is as uncomfortable as the back of a lich.
Starting point is 00:05:29 It's like sleeping on a skeletal thing. It's time for you to upgrade which is why I recommend sleeping on a purple mattress. That's because only purple mattresses have the gel flex grid. It's a super stretchy, ultra squishy material that adapts and flexes around the pressure points and does not retain heat. The gel flex grid is amazingly supportive for your back and legs
Starting point is 00:05:54 while cushioning your shoulders, neck, and hips no matter how you sleep. I'm like memory foam which remembers everything. Thanks to the gel flex grid purple mattresses bounce back as you move and shift. You'll never have that I'm stuck feeling people get with memory foam where it feels like a goblins on your chest scraping at your eyes with their astral claws.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Look, you might not have control over a lot of stuff right now but you definitely have control over whether or not you sleep on a thing that seems like a bag filled with vulture ribs. Purple is incredible. You're going to feel like you are laying on something out of Star Trek not the original the next generation. It's obviously beautiful, my favorite color
Starting point is 00:06:38 but also all of the stuff that I just read where you're kind of like I don't know what a gel flex grid is it doesn't matter because when you lay on this thing you are going to feel like you are laying on some kind of angel of sleep something that found you there laying on that briar patch disguised as a mattress and took pity on you and said come, lay on me child sleep again child, sleep again.

Starting point is 00:09:32 Messy bun and sweatpants Default mom mode DMM You're a mom, hardcore mom Yeah Like if kids were heroin people would be like wow I like kids like people like heroin You're addicted to reproducing? Yeah
Starting point is 00:09:56 That's another topic Another topic for what? Really, what's it another topic for? Another time Are you all of a sudden shy? We've been arguing about when to do this podcast We're going to LA next week to scope it out, we're trying to decide between
Starting point is 00:10:23 LA and Austin and We're in Asheville currently and I thought it was that we would wait and go and do this podcast in LA In a nice hotel room And Erin felt rejected because she wanted to do it here in LA I felt Or in Asheville
Starting point is 00:10:45 Yeah, well I felt that it was maybe too celebratory See I don't see the trip to LA To do it in a nice hotel when we're Even though I'll be very sad away from our kids I don't see it as celebratory It's just weird Weird? Yeah we're going to The city we left
Starting point is 00:11:09 To see if we want to go back and live there with our tail between our legs And we, yeah And some days it's home and some days we're like Why the fuck would we ever move back there Yeah right And other days we're just heart sick about it It's a sentimental journey And it's like, you know, it's all based on attachment
Starting point is 00:11:31 We're all attached, you know, it's like Sentimentality and attachment Identity, all this weird shit That like, you know, you're making it in a big city Yeah, glamour and like all this ego shit But all that stuff, what I love about having kids Is like all that stuff really gets Completely
Starting point is 00:11:55 Well at least semi vaporized by the reality of like No, I have kids, like I have to These kids need to be in a place That is not only going to be Full of culture And diversity and opportunity But just basically safe Like that's the thing that we want, that was why we came here
Starting point is 00:12:19 You know, this idea of You know, well shit man, all these earthquakes And fires and And us not seeing the Prospect of being homeowners In California, in Los Angeles And And schooling and everything else
Starting point is 00:12:44 That is probably easy to imagine Like all the generic easy to imagine Things that you would face Being in Los Angeles Is what drove us out Yeah, we left, we fled Not only did we literally white flight But we are
Starting point is 00:13:06 We are And we were literally white flight We're white and we fled That is true Yeah, okay, yeah, we're white and we fled But I mean You don't need to say cut it, it's not like anyone listening to this is like Yeah, we're white and we fled
Starting point is 00:13:26 Yeah, it's complex and whatever But I lost my train of thought now Cause I said white flight Yeah, just invoked something in me It hasn't occurred to you yet that we're white flight No, my point was going to be that We fled, but we We were just so boisterous in the way we fled
Starting point is 00:13:50 We're like we'll never want to be here again This place is a complete piece of shit Anyone who lives here is an idiot Anyone who's raising kids here, you're wrong It's wrong, it's unethical Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah I mean we left in a Maelstrom of just running our
Starting point is 00:14:06 Just running our mouths We're basically like the blue angels of white flight Like if white flight was like a show But we ran our mouths Yeah, that's what we do I know, but about this in particular Yeah, we were so, yeah We were so boisterous about it
Starting point is 00:14:25 Dumb, proud idiots Proud, yeah, proud, like very proud Certain Certain, but the truth is we were terrified We were terrified We were terrified, but certainly Yeah, that's not a good combination Never, it causes holocausts
Starting point is 00:14:41 But we were like, oh yeah We shrugged it all off We were like, you don't eat it We were so annoying to our friends We were staying there Yeah, totally passive-aggressive No, not passive It wasn't passive
Starting point is 00:14:54 Aggressive-aggressive We were so loud and annoying about it And you know, we moved here And I was pregnant and we And coronavirus Like this entire, this pandemic was It was September 2020 When we arrived here
Starting point is 00:15:15 Really? Yes I don't remember So, I'm the date-keeper of the family That was cool though No, we first guy was pretty fucking cool No, it was like a, I felt like I could breathe
Starting point is 00:15:28 I was pregnant I was halfway through my pregnancy I felt like I could just literally Take in fresh mountain air It was just, it was incredible It was incredible It was adventurous Yeah, it was adventurous
Starting point is 00:15:42 It was fun, we got a cabin It was beautiful It had a gorgeous view It was tiny, the house But I mean, it wasn't really a cabin It was a cabin more in its locale But it wasn't, like it was a little house It was cool
Starting point is 00:15:58 Had Buddha statues everywhere Yeah, it already had Buddha statues everywhere It just felt like totally divine Where we needed to be I thought it was the best Our son was almost two I was pregnant It felt safe
Starting point is 00:16:14 Felt good We were like, what, 30 minutes outside Of any kind of town? Yeah 40 minutes 40 minutes 30, 40 minutes Yeah
Starting point is 00:16:23 That was great That was a good- That's the last time we heard from you I think I think that was the last podcast we did I don't know From there No
Starting point is 00:16:32 Maybe we did one more after that We did one in Georgia Oh yeah, we did one in Georgia Yeah Oh, that was a fun time Yeah But Anyway, so I guess there's a gulf between
Starting point is 00:16:45 Like how we got To going To check out LA and getting here But I don't even know where to- I don't know how to- I don't know where to start Well
Starting point is 00:17:02 I think the I've talked about this On this podcast But you sort of like You know This is one of the big fantasies in life I think is that There's this idea of like
Starting point is 00:17:20 Uprooting yourself and moving from point A to point B Or like the mountain fantasies Specifically Like Yeah Moving to the mountains Right Moving to the middle of nowhere
Starting point is 00:17:32 Moving to the country That's like That's a trope It's a trope And it's also a I think it's also a It's a kind of pipe dream Like
Starting point is 00:17:43 The pipe dream You have Probably everyone has some kind of pipe dream About well If I had this thing or that thing Then I'd probably be happy A simpler life Yeah, simpler life

Starting point is 00:22:13 We were literally Traumatized I mean I'm still traumatized But we were like Our nervous systems Like One time
Starting point is 00:22:22 We went out to eat In Weaverville Which is like It's There's one road It's a main street It's called Main Street
Starting point is 00:22:31 I think And like It's a teeny tiny Really really cute Town And it has like Like I said A main strip
Starting point is 00:22:42 And we were like Eating dinner At one of the three Restaurants Two restaurants There And Like
Starting point is 00:22:50 Some people were laughing Loud I feel like we talked about this Already Who cares? Nobody pays attention To podcasts People were laughing loud
Starting point is 00:22:58 And we were sitting outside And we both just like Cranked our necks And In fear of like What was happening Because we Scared by laughter
Starting point is 00:23:08 We were scared of people We were scared of people On the streets Screaming Attacking us Potentially We were scared of like The sound of helicopters
Starting point is 00:23:19 All day long Oh my god We were always having helicopters Fly over our house Black ones Yeah So and then Duncan and I Well you can just imagine
Starting point is 00:23:29 Like You guys know Duncan You don't know me very well But between the two of us Like the paranoid fantasies We can spin up About Black helicopters
Starting point is 00:23:42 During you know March, April, May, June, July 2020 Like what we thought might Might be coming down the line When we were seeing that Oh my god Yeah, totally
Starting point is 00:23:54 So all that All that All that and then we get here And it's quiet and we're just You know But like Then I had the baby and Reality sets in
Starting point is 00:24:05 We're in a place with 90 I don't know Can you look up Doesn't matter Make it up No I don't want to 90,000 people 90,000 people
Starting point is 00:24:16 I'm looking it up I think I think it's like There's more No it's more than that Okay I'm What is it? No okay yeah
Starting point is 00:24:28 Asheville population 91,560 Look up the Burning Man What's the population of Burning Man Just curious I'm sure it's more than that Is it? I don't know
Starting point is 00:24:42 No Oh wait Like 50,000 Okay Yeah So it's like Asheville's like two Burning Man Oh no it has had 80,000
Starting point is 00:24:54 Yeah And times Looks like it Flows Ebs and flows But It does that's what I always say But
Starting point is 00:25:02 The burn ebs The burn flows Tools of the trade Yeah But anyway I don't know Reality sets in It's cold
Starting point is 00:25:14 It's isolated It's the mountains I like became unhappy here first I think And then we struggled with that In our relationship Yeah A little bit
Starting point is 00:25:30 That caused a great Issue for us Well You didn't want to move again We just bought this beautiful house Our house is gorgeous Right I know I know But like this was
Starting point is 00:25:43 Also like there's a lot of beautiful things That happen here You have to really You know here's the thing Nobody wants to go to therapy If you are Like in fact wanting to go to therapy Is a sign that you are
Starting point is 00:25:56 Fucking out of your mind Actually Like Nobody wants to go Like it's Like skin Like if you're If you're a burn victim
Starting point is 00:26:05 Are you saying like being here's therapy? I think so I think that I guess I think sometimes I'm not saying It's revealed things about ourselves For sure
Starting point is 00:26:20 Well I just don't think Like I think there is a Difference Between Like The movie idea Of happiness And like actual happiness
Starting point is 00:26:32 Or like Or actual stability Like you can't get The only way to find stability Is to be out of balance You can't You have to We're not out of balance though
Starting point is 00:26:44 We're fucking bored Yeah but that is a form of Like I'm not By the way I'm not saying like One of our ongoing Like one of Aaron's Forgive me if I say this It's like a rejection
Starting point is 00:26:58 That you put on me is this Weird idea that I secretly Want to Stay here And I I'm letting go of it More Right
Starting point is 00:27:08 But You know what happens When you're married And you have kids A lot of things A lot of things You basically it's like You're with this person
Starting point is 00:27:18 And you both throw yourself Into some kind of combination Centrifuge pressure cooker Yeah And then in that Any kind of Any kind of rough edges Go from being like
Starting point is 00:27:31 You know just annoying To being like potentially Catastrophic Totally So What ends up happening is You either Figure out a way to
Starting point is 00:27:45 Get those rough edges Sanded down Or you Or the whole thing It has to like Naturally just like Fall apart So
Starting point is 00:27:56 You know While we are here And I don't think it's like Even being confessional to say Because I think From what I've heard Lots of couples right now Married couples
Starting point is 00:28:09 Relationship It's been absolutely Bad shit Brutal No like Brutal beyond Brutal beyond Brutal
Starting point is 00:28:18 I mean Aside from us Living in the mountains You know what I just pictured Alone You know what I just pictured What This beautiful dude
Starting point is 00:28:28 Kind of looks like Thor Getting his Getting his dick sucked By this beautiful Like I don't know Like Arian Like I don't know Why you're listening to my podcast
Starting point is 00:28:38 Getting full aided But Like This beautiful I'm just picturing this beautiful couple Okay Their kids are sleeping upstairs Okay
Starting point is 00:28:48 Hearing this and they're like Not us They're like this was Not us This has been wonderful I've learned to love her even more Actually I have learned to love you anymore
Starting point is 00:29:00 But I haven't enjoyed The journey to get there It's horrible It's been horrible It's been horrible Horrible We have looked Separation in the face
Starting point is 00:29:13 We have looked Everything in the face Every possibility that Could have been Has been discussed Yeah Do you want to know why Because
Starting point is 00:29:24 We Are the only people We see in 3D every day Oh god So it also leaves a lot of Great room For every kind of discussion You could have
Starting point is 00:29:38 With your partner Yeah That's the To me like the That's That's sort of the Everyone's life All of a sudden turned into
Starting point is 00:29:48 One of those stupid game shows Where you're stuck in an island With a bunch of assholes Like Everyone's life turned into that Like we all ended up Like what ended up Happening for a long time
Starting point is 00:29:58 Maybe some of you Are out of the bubble by now But we all In some form or fashion Found ourselves No longer in like A consensual Bubble
Starting point is 00:30:09 Of like This is my life And these are my boundaries But it kind of like No It was all non-consensual Right It was like a
Starting point is 00:30:17 None of us agreed to this Societally induced bubble And now that bubble Whatever the circumference Of the bubble is It completely depends on What state you happen to be in And you're like
Starting point is 00:30:27 Your tolerance level For it And your tolerance level And your risk assessment And your risk assessment And your like A variety of things But we chose
Starting point is 00:30:37 For much of the last two years To exert At times Extreme amount of caution Part of it being That I was pregnant During some of that So when we got here
Starting point is 00:30:52 Just being extremely paranoid About contracting the virus Because at one point In my pregnancy It was like a kind of A okay spot Where it was like the normal Terror in my pregnancy
Starting point is 00:31:03 But then there was a Late spot in my pregnancy When we were here Where in if I contracted The virus That I would give birth alone Yeah I would give birth alone
Starting point is 00:31:14 That was like a real thing You wouldn't be permitted to That was the policy then I think they've since changed it And the partner can Come If they're negative Yeah
Starting point is 00:31:29 If the partner's negative But at the time I was maybe gonna have to Give birth alone We were dealing with that You know Then the kids Then the this
Starting point is 00:31:37 Whatever We had our reasons But we've like Been extremely careful Over the last two years Not consistently But the most part It ebbs and flows
Starting point is 00:31:49 But for the most part like So that's just been you know Which by the way I'm not committed to On any level anymore Committed to what? I don't care anymore I'm not
Starting point is 00:32:02 Oh you've gone nihilist No I care Okay let me rephrase that I like my whole family Just had COVID And I'm triple vaxxed But I will no longer Like my
Starting point is 00:32:16 Done I'm not Unless like New information comes around Like I told a school Actually in LA today They had like a very
Starting point is 00:32:26 Insane policy We were gonna go visit the school And I told them They wanted Triple vaxxing Triple vaxxing for me For me to be able to come I had to be triple vaxxing
Starting point is 00:32:40 Hold on So Yeah okay The one where they Sorry we had to take a break Cause food was delivered They wanted triple vaxx They wanted
Starting point is 00:32:52 Parents be triple vaxx They wanted also a negative test Same day So they wanted both of those things We all just had COVID And I'm like No No
Starting point is 00:33:05 You're exhausted I just said I'm withdrawing my son's application From your school It's been A long two years We've all just recovered from COVID And we are looking to relax
Starting point is 00:33:22 Right Stage of the game What do they do? They said Fuck you I'm gonna fucking cancel your whole family We actually got an email from Fauci He's like
Starting point is 00:33:33 Are you okay? They're like Squarespace You can forget it Well to You know to me like Fuck you To me one of the
Starting point is 00:33:41 One of the particularly clawing Aspects Of the Tribe That is like Hyper Get vaxxed Hyper
Starting point is 00:33:50 Mask Hyper like Whatever the fuck you think is That what really one of the clawing aspects of it is The lack of compassion Because Or empathy There's
Starting point is 00:34:00 There seems to be this Like Weird Like they're completely connected to Biological realities To The current cutting edge of science To whatever the current thing is
Starting point is 00:34:10 Regardless of Current by the way Changing every minute Right Like our friend just pointed out That Things that were Conspiracies
Starting point is 00:34:20 A few months ago Are now Considered General knowledge And accepted fact Right So There's an adherence to this sort of like
Starting point is 00:34:30 Generally accepted Like this is what's happening And that's okay I think that's actually a Probably a Like how science works It's like they have the information they have That they have it
Starting point is 00:34:42 And it updates As the research comes along That makes sense to me I do think that's a A result of like Probably going to college Like if you've gone to college And you've studied statistics
Starting point is 00:34:51 The scientific method Any basic biology Or anything You have this awareness of how people come To Like what is Yeah I haven't finished college What is known as
Starting point is 00:35:01 Scientific fact Get that out there And But you know if you Like you know if you Like I Not to brag I have a bachelor's degree in psychology
Starting point is 00:35:09 The shit gets hammered into your head And it's intense And it's like It's serious And like they explain Why it's serious And why you need This rigorous way
Starting point is 00:35:19 Of coming up with This is what's real And this is what isn't real And so There's a Once you've learned that There is a natural predisposition To be like
Starting point is 00:35:28 Yeah of course That shit a few months ago Was wrong Because they got more data And the data showed This is right All that stuff is fine Whatever
Starting point is 00:35:37 The problem is That within all of that It's like this other Thing is lost Which is Guess what Not everybody had to Suffer through a fucking
Starting point is 00:35:47 Statistics class Not everybody had to Learn calculus Not everyone had to Yeah but also like Certain things can be Measured by statistics And certain things
Starting point is 00:36:00 Or certain things won't Be for a long time Like Like Like Like How our children are suffering And what they're going through
Starting point is 00:36:11 And it's going to take Some real time To get some quantifiable data On that Absolutely However Mothers And fathers
Starting point is 00:36:20 Are watching this in real time With their children And we've had enough You mean like When you're putting the mask On the kid and you tell him It's what Spider-Man would wear That kind of
Starting point is 00:36:30 Those kind of Serial moments Or like One of our children Has like An extreme Aversion To
Starting point is 00:36:40 The nose swab And I really Feel like I'm ruining his childhood When I've had to like Repeatedly And I know there's Some people who are out there
Starting point is 00:36:51 Like well We don't want to swab Or we don't swab We don't test What Dunk I'm not there That's like
Starting point is 00:36:59 If my kids have COVID I want to know Like Like I want to treat them I want to know their symptoms I want to look out for like Post-viral
Starting point is 00:37:08 Syndrome And whatever Like I want to know that So I just don't want anyone to say Well don't swab them Because like That's just been a reality
Starting point is 00:37:16 Even To attend school We've had to swab Well no Okay so But I have felt Like I just want to say I have felt like
Starting point is 00:37:24 When I'm holding him down And swabbing his nose Like I'm ruining his childhood Right I am ruining his childhood I don't want to get emotional I don't think you're ruining his childhood But I have felt like that
Starting point is 00:37:36 Like it has hurt me How are you ruining his childhood? It's just You It's just Sad For Their
Starting point is 00:37:48 Like For their life To be Massive Swab But if childhood's that fragile We're fucked There's people
Starting point is 00:37:56 There's people who are children When bombs are being dropped In World War II People who are children In all kinds of In those people Yeah In those people
Starting point is 00:38:04 Suffer life long Consequences From their trauma I'm just saying If you asked them Do you want Which would you rather Be
Starting point is 00:38:12 Bombs dropped On your occasional swabs They're going to be like Of course But you can always point to Anything in life Duncan and say Oh well
Starting point is 00:38:20 There's someone suffering worse I mean I don't think that's the answer I don't think you're ruining The Kids childhood I know I think you're right
Starting point is 00:38:28 I think you're right I'm not going to tell you Nuts But I do think that there's a Like That There is That's just a visceral
Starting point is 00:38:36 Real moment I've had as a mother And I feel like Other people can probably Relate Yeah sure To that And I know you felt it too
Starting point is 00:38:44 Like that day When we were all exposed And we knew we were getting It And we drove in our minivan Waiting there And having To hold them down
Starting point is 00:38:54 In their car seats I knew Like I saw it in your eyes That moment Like Yea you're like You're like This is
Starting point is 00:39:02 What is this What is this It was a Saturday afternoon What is this It was a Saturday morning The Cinebytes are coming out To do some kind of bizarre Scientific alien
Starting point is 00:39:11 Thing to our kids And like You have to calm them down And you want to stay calm Yea you have to Tell them It's normal Cause it is normal
Starting point is 00:39:19 Now And But inside You're screaming You're heart is Breaking No matter what decision you make There is an entire
Starting point is 00:39:31 Massive demographic of people Who are going to think you're an asshole So It's like Okay so you want You want to do the right thing That's the essence of it That's why we're getting tested
Starting point is 00:39:43 That's why people get tested The reason people want to get tested Is not just because they want to know If they have COVID or not It's because they want to know If it's safe for them To go out of their homes And live their lives
Starting point is 00:39:55 There's a lot of different reasons There's a lot of Everyone has a different But when you say That's the primary point of testing Is you don't want to spread it To other people Yea you don't want to spread it
Starting point is 00:40:04 I think so Yes So that's the primary The primary point of testing You don't want to spread it To other people And so The basis of the thing
Starting point is 00:40:12 Is compassion It's not Self preservation That you know Chances are If you get COVID You're going to be okay If you test positive
Starting point is 00:40:20 For COVID No one can really Even fucking do anything Other than be like I'm not a surgeon Hopefully it's okay COVID doesn't like you And you'll survive this
Starting point is 00:40:28 That's pretty much it It's fucked You can take glutathione There's a lot of Like remedies out there Who knows if they work Or if they don't My point is
Starting point is 00:40:36 We're getting tested Not for self preservation We're getting tested Because you don't want to Kill somebody with a shit So that's what I'm saying The root of the thing Is compassion
Starting point is 00:40:45 The root of the thing Is you don't want to get Other people sick I know But I'm not even I don't care about that I mean I do care about that I don't want to get anyone sick
Starting point is 00:40:53 But I'm just saying Like just on a personal level I'm just trying to like I'm just saying that It's been horrific Right Well no And I know that's like obvious
Starting point is 00:41:09 But I just want to say it I want to scream it from the root It's horrible I want to like Say it to be a parent right now Is um An exhausting, never ending Horrific risk benefit analysis
Starting point is 00:41:26 That is A drain Right For my non-parent friends out there The idea Like what we used to take For granted Back in the day
Starting point is 00:41:40 Before the Times that we're currently in Is There were a lot of things You took for granted For example school Like pre-school Pre-school, school
Starting point is 00:41:52 Dial-care Child care Right You took it for granted Like maybe snow would happen If you live in a snowy place If it sows a bunch Your kids can't go to school
Starting point is 00:42:01 Yeah But what happened is This fucking disease And so what happened is that Just out of the blue Cause with kids especially Young kids especially Getting a rhythm going is so important
Starting point is 00:42:14 Like It's the only thing The only thing And they're so attuned To that rhythm That they need it Any change in the rhythm A later bed time
Starting point is 00:42:25 Like just any random change It distressed them It freaks them out Cause they're like They're trying to like Use this like structure This temporal structure Which is their daily schedule
Starting point is 00:42:37 To grow as people It's like You could just Any time it gets out of whack They really don't like it And so COVID took that And just blew it up
Starting point is 00:42:51 Cause even if as a parent You like Find childcare Find a preschool Find all these things for them In any second They're rolling closures Rolling closures
Starting point is 00:43:02 Quarantines And what goes along with a quarantine Is of course The possibility That you are infected Your kids were infected So it's not just like The kids have to stay home from school
Starting point is 00:43:15 It's Oh my god Are you going to be One of the tiny percentage Of children That don't make it That don't make it out of this And you know statistically
Starting point is 00:43:25 No You know it's not But you still picture Your child on a ventilator Right It's not like a snow day Cause when there's a snow day You're not like picturing
Starting point is 00:43:33 Your kid Like in the hospital As things kind of slide out of control So there's a psychological aspect To COVID Yeah that's just worrying About them medically Okay then like
Starting point is 00:43:44 In a moment You might be able to move past that Now your marriage is Fucked up Because you're You have The structure of your life Has completely fallen apart
Starting point is 00:43:58 Your partner's ability to work Your ability to like Even shower as a mom Or whatever your situation is It just completely falls apart And there is no Marriage that is not going to Encounter like

Starting point is 00:46:13 Yeah So this reality Which I'm assuming I don't think all of you out there Are necessarily like riding the maelstrom I think there must be pot That's what's so bizarre about this thing Is that
Starting point is 00:46:28 There's literally like We're living in parallel time lines right now The state that you're living in You know So everyone's living in these We're just speaking specifically about Our experience But
Starting point is 00:46:43 Yeah I mean Times have been dark Well yeah And it's this sort of unrelenting Reminder That You know when you're like taking up any kind of spiritual
Starting point is 00:47:00 Anything that Like the wisdom traditions will In some form or fashion Remind you of your mortality Well yeah For me I know for you Your spirituality has been a great comfort
Starting point is 00:47:14 For me like a hundred percent Really Couldn't have gotten through Without My faith in God And my religious beliefs And my harajin Jesus And
Starting point is 00:47:31 And everyone who was willing to come along Oh no You're like using all your phone numbers And your spiritual rolling eggs I'm fucking talking to leprechauns Whatever it is Santa Claus I don't know
Starting point is 00:47:44 Paul, Peter You really love us Aliens I'll take Aliens, Pleiadians I don't know Fucking celestial prophecy people Yeah Are you out there
Starting point is 00:47:54 I'll take them all Pour it on please Yeah Yeah They are there See that's the other thing though To me Like some of the comfort
Starting point is 00:48:05 I find is not in some ambiguity But in the real reality That at any given moment There are people Like very, very advanced people Who have dedicated their entire lives To alleviating human suffering Now those people
Starting point is 00:48:23 Take a lot of different forms Doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists But some of them are in fucking caves I think some of them can probably levitate And when you find yourself In a particularly rotten place As I think a lot of people are right now You can really tune into that field
Starting point is 00:48:41 Like it's there It's right That's the other Like paradoxical reality of this Like tumultuous time Is that in the midst of all of it In a non-naive, wishful thinking kind of way If you just calm down a little bit
Starting point is 00:49:01 You can feel something There's something there that isn't all bad There's something there That's actually quite amazing Yeah And I don't Like whatever that thing is It gets drowned out though
Starting point is 00:49:14 That's the problem It gets fucking drowned out By all this stuff This stuff is loud Go back To our relationship for a second Because I feel like We definitely touched on a lot of the negatives
Starting point is 00:49:32 Yeah And there was a good bit of that Horrible Horrible But we've both been in therapy And separately in together I don't want to gloss over it But we're in a really good place right now
Starting point is 00:49:53 I think But I think we should circle back to like There was a disagreement about Us Staying here or not And we were talking about LA And so we're going to LA next week See if we like it
Starting point is 00:50:12 So we have decided together So one of those conflicts has resolved We have decided to leave Asheville Right Right And assuming there isn't something like We don't know where Which is kind of crazy
Starting point is 00:50:26 Also the other funny thing about Making these kinds of decisions And I do think like I don't know how many of y'all Have like this has occurred to you Yeah Probably a lot of you But I think a growing kind of like
Starting point is 00:50:36 Cause one of the Like in the consideration of like This like global fucking trauma That everyone went through Everyone's going through Growing through Yeah Like
Starting point is 00:50:50 Because a lot of us are just doing Like one day at a time Try to make it through Yeah Like the long term effect Of this level of instability And this very specific kind of chaos Yeah
Starting point is 00:51:03 Which is really interesting In that like Like In a general like Environmental disaster You see fire You can see the meteor You can see the bombs
Starting point is 00:51:18 You can see the results of the bombs And in there In that scene The results of the bombs And the fires And all the things that have plagued Humanity from For as long as there's history
Starting point is 00:51:29 There's a natural thing that happens Which is that like You know after an earthquake It's the cliche everyone talks about Things get quiet Yeah And then people help They go and pull fucking boulders off
Starting point is 00:51:41 And they're like Their identity dissolves And they're like Let me fucking help It's a famous thing that happens It's a beautiful thing It shows what humans really are And part of it is because you could see
Starting point is 00:51:53 The rubble And hear the screaming And see the fires What's your point? My point is that in this case With a pandemic Even though you see a number Which is the number of people
Starting point is 00:52:06 Who are literally dying every day It's Yeah, 800 Almost 900,000 people In this country dead Yes Right You know of plane crashes
Starting point is 00:52:19 The plane has 200 people in it And that's going to be news for a long time You're going to have footage Of the fucking wreckage Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Right, so my point is that The normal way that compassion Within a human being is generated
Starting point is 00:52:34 Is not being generated right now Because it's hard for numbers To generate No, we're just being blown out every day Compassion blow out Right, right We're just There's no
Starting point is 00:52:45 We're fatigued Right, so it seems There's a surreal quality to it People will message me And say I feel like I'm in a dream This doesn't seem quite real I feel like that every day
Starting point is 00:52:55 Oh, God Disassociated people are disassociated I'm disassociating like 500 times a day Are you kidding? It's the fucking pet rock of COVID And no one wants to admit it As a former Academy addict
Starting point is 00:53:07 I'm like, oh, I'm disassociating, cool This is awesome I'm disassociating Wow, that's great I don't even need to ask it anymore Or anything I feel like high every day Just on the like
Starting point is 00:53:19 Sheer Dreamy quality Yeah In horror Well, yeah Yeah, I mean it is But you know It's like
Starting point is 00:53:30 And it is horrible And it's And also I think it's Like you have to say It's incomprehensibly horrible Yeah In the sense that Literally incomprehensible
Starting point is 00:53:41 We cannot understand It's HP Lovecraft What's even happening Okay, but We all know that I just want to Good night One kind of fun thing
Starting point is 00:53:53 Good night That was shut up It's incomprehensibly horrible You've been listening To the Duncan Dressel Family Art Podcast Hope you feel better Sweet dreams No, okay
Starting point is 00:54:05 But I just want to go more like On personally to us So like All that's been going on But we're also Just not Like we know the place we're in Is not the forever place for us
Starting point is 00:54:15 For like a few different reasons Like the biggest one for me Is it's too cold I'm way too cold I need to be outside I like the sun Beating hot in my shoulders I like
Starting point is 00:54:26 My freckles are like I need them Your freckles? To come out more Yeah, that's like the measure Of my happiness So I know that's like
Starting point is 00:54:35 What? Terrible for Skin cancer You're saying you're fucking freckles Or the measure of your I like the sun The more freckles you are The happier you are
Starting point is 00:54:44 Like you've got a weird My little pony thing Yeah, maybe so Maybe so I've never heard you say that But I think it I think it You think like
Starting point is 00:54:54 Oh my god, I have freckles I should be happy I always have freckles, Duncan But I'm just saying You know, whenever I look at Like the happiest times of my life You like freckles? More freckles
Starting point is 00:55:06 More of them That's literally the craziest thing I've ever heard you say Anyway It's too cool There's another Types of reasons You mean like
Starting point is 00:55:16 You're like a frog No, listen You're like so got a weird Frog in a pet store Where they're like If it has freckles It's diet is good Yeah
Starting point is 00:55:25 Yeah Moving on Other reasons Oh shit, man You'll agree too, okay Your frogs Freckles You don't want to stay here
Starting point is 00:55:34 Either In Asheville? No I don't really want to stay in Asheville Yeah, so like Okay, we didn't agree on that But we do now Well, my realization is
Starting point is 00:55:43 Really far up It's like Embarrassed It's like the height of embarrassed It's like really embarrassed You don't have to share I'll share it I tell them everything
Starting point is 00:55:51 Generally Almost everything Honestly, you've told them More than I have In this podcast But that's probably good The No, you know
Starting point is 00:56:01 We have We got luck I don't know how we lucked into this We got a great fucking therapist Ramdas used to say You're only good as your therapist We got this Insanely good marriage counselor
Starting point is 00:56:11 Like she is like a It's like some combination Mystical person and like just plumber Like she's So good So good She's like a mystical mind plumber But like
Starting point is 00:56:22 You know, just like getting like a Everyone raves about their therapist Do they really? No, some people don't Now I've had shitty therapists Yeah, everyone has Everyone has Okay
Starting point is 00:56:33 The therapist What the fuck are you doing? What was your point? That therapist was like Are you gonna fucking Like do something bad to me? That we came together Can I ask them to see my dick?
Starting point is 00:56:45 I've had therapists where I've thought that I'm like, are you gonna ask me To show you my dick or something? And you would like it And you would enjoy it That's the next thought I'd probably like it You would like it
Starting point is 00:56:55 If your therapist is like Show me your dick You would like that You know most of my It's not like you'd be like Oh, no You'd be like Ugh, okay
Starting point is 00:57:04 No, I wouldn't Here's my dick No, I wouldn't You should see some No, my therapist You wouldn't care You would do it Just for the fun of it
Starting point is 00:57:13 I know you No, I would not Yeah, you would If the therapist was hot No, you wouldn't care I would care I'm sorry There needs to be
Starting point is 00:57:21 If they were like decent If they were like just okay You'd be like Ugh, this is so weird 90% of my therapists have been dudes I'm not gonna like Be like Alright, man
Starting point is 00:57:31 Look at my dick Suck my dick, man Can we just go back to Maybe I would We've decided to leave Asheville, okay We have And you want to too
Starting point is 00:57:43 And That's why we're going to LA next week Although Austin Is at the top of our list as well But LA has everyone we love Yeah, but it's very expensive We actually, before us, a list
Starting point is 00:58:01 I will not share But we have pros and cons lists Don't share the list I won't I'm not going to I'm just saying We're really It's come down to the list making
Starting point is 00:58:13 Well I think we already know We're gonna land Yeah, we do But we'll see Who knows But But I think
Starting point is 00:58:24 Through our conflict In the horror Of the last few years I think we We're in a really good place right now I do too You know, there is a term in Buddhism That I love
Starting point is 00:58:41 Poison into medicine It's the idea And it shows up in a lot of different forms of Buddhism But it's the idea that Weirdly It's a weird idea That I never really understood In fact, I think someone
Starting point is 00:58:53 You know, anytime you get a message From someone telling you On Instagram That they've gotten enlightened You're just like Alright I guess so No, that's bullshit
Starting point is 00:59:02 Well, right But this person Actually did say something to be That was really interesting But I Shut You know what they said What?
Starting point is 00:59:11 They said Either you will Gain enlightenment Or Your suffering will be your enlightenment And I remember Like reading that I was on the toilet
Starting point is 00:59:21 I remember specifically Being on the toilet And reading that Being like Margie back Like congrats on getting enlightened But like The
Starting point is 00:59:29 I thought It annoyed me Because I thought about that Long after this Whoever they are Wrote this to me I think they were saying Come to India
Starting point is 00:59:39 Come follow me in India It was really weird But like Then I thought about it And I thought And then later As I was like studying More Buddhism
Starting point is 00:59:47 That is actually coming up A lot Which is Your suffering Is really your enlightenment But In the way that like The floor is the
Starting point is 00:59:58 Ceiling When you're standing on your head If that makes any sense at all It makes sense Yeah And so So like So I think that
Starting point is 01:00:08 Whenever you find yourself In a Time period Like ever all A lot of us are in And like us Maybe a little bit Displaced
Starting point is 01:00:17 Yeah And you're like married And you got kids And you love the fucking kids But you're stuck at home You're stuck at home You're supposed to be You're supposed to be
Starting point is 01:00:26 The mountains are surrounding you On every side I don't mind that so much You've said it makes you feel claustrophobic I know But like At times To me like the
Starting point is 01:00:37 You have said it I can admit it I admit it I admit it Okay To me though Like I do want to go to a place Where I can regularly do stand up
Starting point is 01:00:46 And Well not that you can't do it here But it's different Look I'm not I don't want to like We talked about this before the podcast I don't want to get into some like Me either
Starting point is 01:00:56 Stupid like attack On this little city That's doing it It's fucking best right now With an incredible influx Of assholes like us It's not the city's problem I don't think that's the message at all
Starting point is 01:01:05 No I know It's clearly about us Yeah But I have to say To get back to the relationship stuff That You can't really hope
Starting point is 01:01:15 To find true peace With a partner Without going through all their rotten shit Yeah Maybe you have been in therapy Before you met the person And they've been in therapy Yeah
Starting point is 01:01:29 And then I think in that case There's a chance to like Maybe not have to like Confront the shit I don't think so I think you're going to just Confront and confront and confront I think you married
Starting point is 01:01:38 You know what Many of my girlfriends Who have been in therapy We don't have the same kind of problems That you and I have Well Sounds good for them They have problems with all my dudes
Starting point is 01:01:55 Well you date fucking assholes Okay we're making a joke We're actually monogamous right now Because it's all we can handle Though we are accepting applications For girlfriends at any time I'm sure after this podcast Oh god
Starting point is 01:02:09 There's a lot of ladies who are like They're lining up Oh my god They're lining up Stop the fucking podcast Boy do I really want to connect with a Displaced couple I just want to see
Starting point is 01:02:19 A couple I'm certain of where they're going to live They though With two kids and the wife And by the way I want more kids So We've opened with that My addiction to reproduction
Starting point is 01:02:31 I want another baby Oh my god I'm going to have to get someone To handle my Instagram after this We're going to get so many messages I want another baby That's my thing I want more babies
Starting point is 01:02:42 I want to have a big family with Duncan I love the children he gives me I want to see them like All running around I want like I just want as many kids as he'll give me It's really bad Why is that bad?
Starting point is 01:02:57 I know it's bad Because it's like it's a lot I don't know It's counterculture I guess But whatever That's like my heart's desire And I feel like God is calling me to that
Starting point is 01:03:08 God is calling you which god? Which god? My god Pan? My god But you know what I think marriage is I think like God is a god of come
Starting point is 01:03:19 My god is an awesome god But listen I really think marriage is like When you All the points you would get When you're dating Like you date someone for a long time And you would reach these points
Starting point is 01:03:35 Where you're like Ugh it's just an impasse We just cannot We have to separate So you break up You break up In marriage you just hit that again And again and again
Starting point is 01:03:45 And again And you get stronger each time No escape No escape Well there is escape But you have to be Yeah we could get divorced Yeah
Starting point is 01:03:54 But we don't want to get divorced Yeah there's It's like You and I are both empowered And free spirit We are And if we wanted to get divorced Like we would just get divorced
Starting point is 01:04:03 I love you so much I love you so much I don't want to fucking divorce This sounds horrible Never you're never getting rid of me You're not getting rid of me You say that I'm gonna make you
Starting point is 01:04:12 I gotta say this You say that But you don't know You don't understand You're never getting rid of me You're never getting rid of me You're never getting rid of me Genetically handcuffed
Starting point is 01:04:20 I will come in And get you Where will I be I need your children I need to bear more of your children Hear this ladies You could be one of these too I need to bear more of your children
Starting point is 01:04:35 I need to be by your side I need to support you in your career I want to hold you and love you And I just want to be with you So I feel But like God damn There's a lot of moments
Starting point is 01:04:49 Like in between that What? There's a lot of moments In between that No there isn't Marriage is just an agreement To stay together You know
Starting point is 01:05:00 Many of my past lovers Have described me As a kind of ballerina In my grace You're full of shit I've been described as a ballerina People say I've been described as an ice queen
Starting point is 01:05:15 Are you joking? Someone called you an ice queen? Hold Cause I would just walk away And walk away and walk away I would just get in my car And just leave someone And never talk to them again
Starting point is 01:05:35 Well So this has been a real blessing for me Me too Well I mean that's what I was trying to say earlier Is it's like I think there's a problem In the world Which is people have gotten confused about medicine
Starting point is 01:05:50 Like medicine Medicine? Yeah medicine Like people have gotten confused about medicine Cause there's this weird idea That medicine is supposed to be pleasurable That's popped up Or the idea is like learning
Starting point is 01:06:02 Learning curves Growing Growth Personal evolution All this stuff Yeah like when I work out I ride my peloton every day Like
Starting point is 01:06:13 Therapy All of it It's awful Like It's awful at times It's not all awful But it's a bitter It's like yeah drinking
Starting point is 01:06:23 Okay but I don't want people to think We're saying our marriage is like bitter medicine You know what? I gotta say What? Don't say that Sometimes it is Sometimes it is
Starting point is 01:06:36 But Are you fucking kidding? Like sometimes it really is Yeah it can be but Are something so Good about it Yeah Well because it's you know it's love
Starting point is 01:06:53 But I don't this whole idea of like love being like The problem is like this People have crazy ideas about what love looks like I'm not saying But Because like You know look This is something that I say all the time
Starting point is 01:07:07 What? Every rose Has it's thorn As I say Yeah and you say every Night has it's dawn What else do I say? Just like every
Starting point is 01:07:22 How is it a sad song Yeah Yeah this I have tattooed on my right butt cheek Right underneath a pentagram I just think like For me For my personal experience Like our marriage
Starting point is 01:07:37 I've just recognized I recognize these little moments in our marriage Where I'm like Oh I've hit this wall before In XYZ relationship whatever And I'm like And then I got the hell out of there And by the way I'm only 28
Starting point is 01:07:53 So like I have a lot let Like it's not that much It's not like that much of experience But I see like our marriage It's more than anything A confrontation with myself Yeah And my own trauma
Starting point is 01:08:11 Yeah My own baggage Yeah And knowing that like If I were to go elsewhere I'd just be like starting at zero And it would be just right there waiting for me Not necessarily
Starting point is 01:08:25 What is this? What you never think to yourself like who knows Maybe like you Yeah but imagine this What? There's someone else You find somebody and you're like Oh my God Duncan was a fucking asshole
Starting point is 01:08:40 I was just rationalizing the whole thing With all this spiritual bullshit That guy was a dick You with some guys playing you violin At night Lotioning your feet It's so annoying Who the fuck played violin for you at night?
Starting point is 01:08:53 No I'm just saying that's not Sustainable That's NRE baby What's NRE? New relationship energy Oh right right right NRE NRE
Starting point is 01:09:07 It can get you a few years You know isn't that what was above Jesus's head On the cross? Henry You sound like you wanted a new relationship I don't want a new relationship I'm not Number one I'm joking
Starting point is 01:09:21 I completely concur with you I know you are I know you're done with me I know I'm the end of the road for you What? I know I'm it for you No you're not You're not the end of the road
Starting point is 01:09:33 I mean not sexually But I just know like relationship wise What do you mean? I know that I'm the one for you I mean What about I'm just baby I'm sorry
Starting point is 01:09:51 I'm trying to make a stupid joke of me I love you so much Of course you are Of course you are Look I'm making a joke What's a joke? The joke was a person
Starting point is 01:10:03 Here's the format of the joke In a podcast a person expresses some Cineminal beautiful thing And defuse The romantic moment because There's some spark of Lucifer inside of you Trying to do a bad joke Don't defuse
Starting point is 01:10:18 Now you have to bear your soul You don't have to bear my soul Yeah you do No I don't I don't have to bear my soul to the little podcast There's nothing else to bear I mean that is what it is And also I just want to put out there
Starting point is 01:10:32 Like Duncan and I have a non-monogamous Like we started our relationship You don't have to do polyamory No I'm just saying So it's not like Like we're definitely not the last people Each other will be with But
Starting point is 01:10:48 Especially sexually But like What the fuck does that mean? Especially sexually Like that's not an issue for us What the fuck It's not an issue for me I will be the last
