Nothing's Really Real

Sean Patrick Maylone and DeAnthony Nelson Jr from Ssighborggg join me on this episode to talk about their friendship and working relationship as they create weird, experimental rock together. They tell stories of international tours, partying with naked Japanese men, and headlining festivals in Mongolia. We joke about the anti-vaccination movement, and foreigners that commit crimes in Korea.

The guys share a never before heard song from their upcoming project, and DeAnthony tells a great Memory of Regret story.

Skin on Sundays is a project created by Jessica Lakritz. Jessica makes physiopoetry, where she combines her own poetry with the physical canvas of the human body. We talk about her art, her life, the flat earth, anger management, herpes and how lucky we are for dogs. We discuss the excessive amount of dick pics Jessica receives in her DMs, and the environment women endure online. She also reads a poem from her book, Seasons of Yourself.

Jessica shares a very sincere and personal Memory of Regret, and I share a very light and kinda yucky one.

KingScribbler is an American artist, self-described as a doodle expressionist. We talk about the life commitment and his goals of being a full-time artist. Facing rejection, and getting inspired to pursue your passions and dream. We talk about the new generation of Koreans getting face tattoos, whether people are buying art or lifestyles, cigarette burns and the dangerous pitfalls of being a male model. Our mutual friend, Saul Goode, calls in and I play audio of myself verbally assaulting and kicking a heckler out of a recent comedy show.

Memories of Regret are real and heavy on this episode, speaking about the strain and difficulty of having international families and relationships.

I’m joined on this episode my one of my best friends from all time, Michael Laperle. Michael is a recovering alcoholic. He joins me on the podcast to talk about his life, his childhood, some of his lowest lows, his theories on addiction, relapse – and the daily struggle that is sobriety. It is a pretty heavy episode.

For anyone listening in Korea who may be struggling with alcoholism and wants to talk with someone about it, there are English AA groups that meet around the peninsula. More information about those can be found at www.aainkorea.org

If you’re interested in reaching out to Michael with comments or questions, he has given me permission to include his email address: [email protected]

Episode 50. My guest is Konner Blunt. He is the host of his own podcast, The Blunt Report. Surprisingly, we hardly spend any time talking about podcasting, and end up having a really positive and flowing conversation about death, debating people online, our significance in the universe, and worry ... among other things.

Konner was very thoughtful when he decided what story to tell for his memory of regret and I have a feeling he’s gonna bring a few of you to tears.

Amy Rose writes:

“I was raised in a cult. You might be imagining white robes, chanting, pentagrams, prayer circles, meditating, group singing, forced sterilization, or even dixie cups of kool-aid. You'd be right about most of it ...”

Amy joins me on the podcast to tell her fascinating story, and answer as many questions as I could throw at her.
