Ep. 14 - "The Ace Ventura Of Death"
05/31/22 • 64 min
In this episode, Jaymee shares what he feels the "liberal middle finger" is, and provides suggestions for how to successfully override the hard wiring of our minds while simultaneously being kind to ourselves. Daren discovers that his thoughts now have a comment section, and that Jaymee is currently Daren's only consistently maintained adult relationship. Jaymee shares an incredibly heartwarming story from the weekend of being invited to be present at the passing of their neighbors dog, and how a group of perfect strangers assembled at the last minute created an ideal space for a beautiful passing (which you have to hear to believe). Daren gives yet another detailed example of how texting is the worst form of communication, and the two friends read the same text from different interpretive perspectives to illustrate just how easily digital conversations can go awry. So here ya go, Mysti-Cyni's... another mini instruction manual for dismantling the collective delusion, with an abundance of laughter at moments previously considered sacred, in an enduringly curious friendship where the middle path is the only solid ground.

Ep. 13 - "Daren Dass"
Pivoting gracefully from booger wall memories to quotes from enlightened master Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, Episode 13 is a heaping scoop of magic and scrutiny. Jaymee bets Daren he could MacGyver himself out of being chained to a dungeon cell with nothing more than mindfulness and a rat, and Daren presupposes what Krishna Das smells like. Jaymee discusses the hidden conditions within the widely observed notion of unconditional love, and how to pray without religion. Daren shares his new preferred source for world news is memes, and asserts that monastic life must be boring because he only ever sees devotees scrubbing temple floors. Plus: will Jaymee babysit for Daren for his upcoming DMT trip? And why is "peeing at Raghu's" just so damn mystical? This episode delivers more answers than questions!

Ep. 15 - "Way To Take The Blade"
This episode will be our final of the podcast. In it, Daren and Jaymee once again transparently attempt to work out the ongoing differences and challenges posed by a resurrected show in Season 2. In this rawly emotional, no holds barred conversation that enters new territory in their friendship, the Cynic and the Mystic searchingly explore whether or not to continue the podcast. Though the episode ends on a misleading hopeful note, and demonstrates an arsenal of emotional intelligence, vulnerability and friendship on brand with the arc of the show, after 15 bonus episodes the show has reached its completion.
We love all of our listeners and will preserve this show in time as an ongoing resource for exploring the depths of friendship through vulnerability, honesty, creativity, processing trauma, psychedelics, recovery and spiritual practice. We hope you all find the middle way in more of life's situations, and value the preciousness of friendships over pursuing creative endeavors and making a name for oneself. This show is collectively a 59 episode audio encyclopedia of two men sharing all of the beauty and wretchedness of their lives story, and the hard earned wisdom, magic and transcendence found throughout.
Please continue to hold us in your hearts, as we will you. We'll be around, you know where to find us.
