We're back! Well, sort of... Curtis and Marty are back as theDAMNcast (Acacia can still be heard as "Acacia and the Void" available on iTunes and at acaciaandthevoid.com), this week with long time friend of the show and voice of theDAMNcast theme song, Mr. Joe Howze! Curtis, Mary and Joe sit down to talk about all sorts of shit (Crossfit, Donald Trumps diet, Hunting) including Sports (sports segment starts at the 44:33 mark, just in case you want to skip it)! We wind down the show by playing 2 songs from popular cartoons and bickering about how to end the show.

It feels great to be back! Thanks to everyone that has, and continues to support us!

Curtis sits down to talk a little bit about his 16+ year relationship with Acacia.

Well here it is, the very last episode of theDAMNcast, sans Marty, ever! It's just Acacia and Curtis basically giving you guys an update now that they are officially divorced. It's been a wild ride! Both the the 17 year relationship and the almost 4 year podcasting-ship which are now officially over. But just like Curtis and Acacia are going to continue to be friends and raise their son the best they can, you guys can still follow our new projects and see us grow into the people we are and will continue to become. Curtis, with Marty and Joe Howze, is starting the "Men On Pause" podcast through Lousy Weather Media, which you should see around early April, and Acacia... well Acacia has 2 projects coming soon. "Acacia and the Void" will be it's own thing again starting late March/early April, and she is also starting a mental health awareness/art podcast with artist Derek Hess called "Forced Perspective" coming very soon! Just go to Acacia and the Void's Facebook or Instagram page, as well as acaciaandthevoid.com to find out more. Also make sure and visit Men On Pause's Facebook page and menonpausepodcast.com for more details concerning that show.

We'd like to thank everyone who has been listening to us, and we hope that you will continue to let us take up some of your precious ear estate. We love you all. As always, remember to enjoy!

Hey guys! Well, this is it for me, for awhile. A last goodbye, till I equalize. I talk to Stephanie about stuff. What’s next for me? Art, it’s definitely art, I fucking love it! And I have a few passion projects up my sleeve too. Mental health awareness and encouragement of minority art are a few of my focuses. Thanks for listening! In doing this project, I’ve learned so much about myself and my feelings. How these feelings have effected my current and past situations and how to transmute these traumas into a deeper understanding and true healing have been the sweetest gifts that have given to myself. Follow me on Instagram, I’ll keep you updated on my progress. @AcaciaandtheVoid email me too. I love hearing from you guys! [email protected]

Lots of love to you all! Thanks again!

Hope you had a nice thanksgiving! Curtis and I give an update on our separation and the reactions from our family and friends. Winston makes an appearance with some nice drawings he made. Then I talk about where we store emotions. It’s in our stomachs. Follow those gut feelings, they never lie. Our minds love to lie. After that I wrap it up with a story about A witch thrown in a well. It’s all old timely and shit. Have a great week!

Curtis and I have been attached like Siamese twins for 16 1/2 years. We have gone through so much together. The fates haven’t always been so kind to us but it has taught us how important it is to be kind, to have a loyal friendship and to love unconditionally. Curtis and I have had to face our truth over the last few months. The operation to separate us was intense, agonizing, unpredictable, but extremely necessary for the growth of our individual selves and our family. We don’t know what’s next but our hearts are full of love and we are committed to making this transition as loving and positive as possible. Do not mourn us, we’ve done enough of that. This was extremely painful, but we found true healing and relief dropping our burdens and expectations. We can breath now. Take what you need from this episode, bravely examine your own relationships and do not fear the unknown future. Be fearless! On the other side of the threshold is a new beginning.

Hello and welcome to this Mondays episode 207. This week, we have a very special guest in studio. Canton Ohio House music legend, HeSoHi (Douglas) along with his significant other, Cathy. Douglas has been producing and performing Electronic music for over 25 years and is one of the "OG's" of the Canton "Rave" scene. His new album, Conversation, is out now on Bandcamp and iTunes. We talk to Douglas about his roots, his annual "Lovethang Picnic" and a whole bunch of other good shit! All that and so much more on this weeks Monday episode of theDAMNcast!

My church has been solitude and nature for the last 20 years. Nature has a lot to teach. Just the other day I watched a black cat stroll down the gravel lane. He stopped and chilled for few minutes, hopped and caught himself a nice breakfast. He was out looking for a meal, but he wasn’t worried if he’d find it. He just strolled until something caught his eye. He was mindful with purpose and then he was rewarded. We winter with the ladybugs, seriously, they are everywhere, every year, just after the first hard frost. All up in my shit but harmless. I take them off my counter top and toss them in my plants. The flocks of black birds are coming through and when they take off together, you can hear the power of the wind they generate.. It’s phenomenal and it’s all like clockwork. We are so consumed by our social and materialistic worlds, we forget to enjoy the world’s rhythms and appreciate the complexity of design as we turn around the Sun.

In the Void this week I talk about my religious upbringing and how my views have evolved over my life. Please feel free to share your stories with me. I’d love to hear others points of view and how they came about. Have a wonderful week!
