Well, well, well... here are back at it again! Like the rapscallion we is you know, put off the editing of this episode for far too long. Sometimes it's just too fresh you know? In today's episode we go back in time a wee bit to the aftermath of an "entanglement" I found myself in. Albeit emotional, I am goin to work on processing it better and pulling out what I have learned from the experience more clearly for next time. But for now, it is an emotional purge of sorts. Although, a very necessary one. It always helps to get the bullshit out. Feelings of admiration and love are difficult, often ..read more

040. THC: LATE-TERM EVICTION

We back at it again! It is a funny thing, how we forget the value of our own voices. The importance of getting thoughts, feelings and situations out our heads. That is what this podcast was started for, an outlet to let out the bullshi*t that life seems to hurdle at us in a neverending test of self, our worth and who we aim to be. Today we travel back in time as I reflect upon on a recent transitional period in my life that came about as most change does, swift and unseen. An attempt to be a part, to be involved, but what does it cost? What is the give, and what is the take? When is the joy ea ..read more

039. THC: VERSATILE TEACHINGS

by Nicholas Ridiculous
1y ago
In todays episode we discuss some strides in the arena of the modern pop-culture wars and independent mythmaking, how we don't have to always relinquish the things we hold dear, but create our own when they are destroyed. We also discuss some recent online research I have done into the Shaolin teachings by master Shi Heng Yi. The importance of moving forward and allowing yourself to use the knowledge garnered by those who came before, but not becoming reliant on those teachings. Are we but another pawn in the cycle of the continued arisen? Am I playing too much Dragon's Dogma? How do you let g ..read more

Here we are again folks! Better belated than not at all, as they say, but alas episode 35 is here. Today we sit down for a little coffee and pop-tart chat with our host Nicholas Ridiculous. We discuss the current state and transition of pop-culture, and the further decay that befalls beloved franchise all over. As always we get around to the serious life stuff, a discussion of the jaded boy, current climate of collective confusion coupled with personal desirs makes for a funny world. Same old nonsense bb. How do we keep the momentum forward without burning out? What comes first the blow-up or ..read more

Aren't we though? Here we are again with a late as funk episode, my B folks! In todays episode, we get into the trials and tribulations of modern life in the transition from lockdown living, to the new world order or whatever it is these days (daze?)... the fun of navigating adulthood in these estranged times of hollow togetherness. We discuss how uncommon social common ground is these days after the years we spent in our own bubbles, and how easily divided it seems we all are. Especially when it comes to the basics... like our freedoms? But, for anyone who was forcefully raised within the chi ..read more

Happy New Year! Even though New Years is cancelled in Canada. :): Another one bites the dust, it is always a trip how they just go by faster and faster each go around. And in such weird times we find ourselves in, it's been fun to say the least... In this final episode of the year we get a little emotional. Life has been quite heavy, and this episode was recorded just before the most heaviest so the imbalance has been real. This being my personal therapy podcast, I let my feelings just run in this one. It is a lot of pent up and suppressed emotions bubbling up lately. The process of mourning a ..read more

Oh fall, the seasons continue to change and so do we. In today's episode I sit down with a fellow artist, friend and former crown-ward Caterina Sinclair. We sit back and chit-chat about some of our own experiences navigating life after the child welfare industry. While editing this episode, I really noticed how bitter and sour a lot of my own outlooks are compared to Caterina's. I found it to be something I should acknowledge and probably work on, hence the title. Be sure to check-out the links and the many avenues of content I got coming out. Join a couple blazed-out ex-foster kids as they di ..read more

030. THC: A Simulated Summer | 2021

Here we are, the end of the summer season 2021. What a blur that was huh? A season spent in a strange social limbo, content on a diet of mail order goods and direct to retina entertainment. And yet, the lowly creators crawling from the underbelly press onward! In today's late and distant episode we discuss the murkiness of personal balance and how the outside elements will forever persist. How do we gain strength from it, and ultimately set aside our childish bitterness and resentment to move forward? The golden-age of television is dead, let us mourn story-telling as it burns. Where does the ..read more

Well, well, well, here we are again. Slow with them uploads, this is a late one. But alas, episode 29, welcome! In today's episode we get into some recent projects and outlooks in the world of lived experience experts. Reclaiming the Narrative is a new book project I am working on, we get into the importance of these kinds of independent projects that exist outside of the same system that inspire it. And the power that comes with reclaiming our stories beyond the fairytales of modern media. They controlled us for most of our lives, but they don't get to control our stories! Is it possible to c ..read more
