I would recommend this entire show to anyone, but this episode specifically is about grief and love. It is a conversation the creator recorded between him and his mom before she died. This show was such a comfort for me right after my dad died. Funny aside, I actually hung out with the creator for a weekend way back in 2007!

Listening to The Duncan Trussell Family Hour episodes centered around grief and loss helped me so much with my fatherā€™s death. Literally transformed my mind.

A great explanation of how to deal: "It breaks your heart open. Our hearts have been closed, we've defended ourselves against pain. This opens them." "Opening your heart sucks. It hurts. Does opening your heart always hurt?" "When it really cracks open, it hurts. But when you really enquire, you know that what you're experiencing is love." I love this. thank you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB9nDTRjxtM

Probably my favorite show of all time. I sleep to it and dream to it. The visuals are so wild and eccentric but fitting for the overall story and you can't really tear your eyes away. While the main content is like a podcast exploring different things like religion, death, meditation, etc. If that sounds like something you'd be into then for sure check out the show! To me it's a kin to a big warm hug coming from an extremely wise wizard.

This has become the norm and every day I grow more disturbed. I understand if somebody is behaving in a harmful way, that is good to document and put out there. But as a whole, it seems, we have become so comfortable with recording people just living their lives. I saw a video of a guy working and the caption of the video was that he was so hot, we needed to find him!!! Why are you providing the Internet with his face and location instead of just going up to talk to him? I saw another of two people on the subway, seemingly a couple, having a very emotional moment. How would you feel if you open up an app and saw a video like that of yourself? I donā€™t like this level of sibling society surveillance. Why are you videoing an elderly person with sad music dubbed over it to gain likes? It is WEIRD. Donā€™t even get me started on videos of children. It is WEIRD to use a stranger without their consent to get some kind of fake validation. Get a life. I donā€™t mean to come on here and share something so negative, I just donā€™t have anywhere else to put it and itā€™s gnawing at me.
