Episode Description
Mike and Doug talk about grief. After the sudden loss of a close friend, the conversation turns to the strange waves that follow death—the contractions of sadness, memory, anger, and love that move through the body if you let them. They reflect on childhood encounters with death, the different ways people grieve, and how tools like therapy, psychedelics, meditation, and music have changed their relationship to loss. Rather than something to avoid or numb, grief becomes something to ride—painful, yes, but also strangely beautiful. A conversation about loss, the people we carry with us, and the quiet trust that life keeps moving, even after death.
