Mystical/Cynical

After 5 years and 3 Seasons, we've decided to leave on a loving high note. This show has been an incredible love project over the course of 5 years, our attempt at a love letter to humanity. We both feel there is no other show like this in the world, and we are both so proud of the road map to healing we're leaving behind. We thank you for having us into your minds and hearts, and hope you start your own love projects while you still can. edit/production/opening & closing music by Jaymee CarpenterHelp support the show at: www.patreon.com/mysticalcynical Find Jaymee: www.loveistheauthor.comFind Daren: www.realfunwow.comSupport the show

If you interrupt someone mid sentence with a well crafted, witty response, are you truly "Being Here Now"? In this absolute banger of an episode the boys cover topics like the potential of transcending ones nationality, how to heal generational wounds through forgiving the "unforgivable", how to build meaningful relationships with your children, the absurd humor of the Universe's design, the essence of selflessness, and whether there can be an ethical form of suicide. edit/production/opening & closing music by Jaymee CarpenterHelp support the show at: www.patreon.com/mysticalcynical For more Jaymee: www.loveistheauthor.comFor more Daren: www.realfunwow.comOn Instagram: @mysticalcynicalSupport the show

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. Support the show

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.*Help support the show at: www.patreon.com/mysticalcynical *Leave us a 2 minute voicemail at: 888-4A-CYNIC / (888) 422-9642*Opening music by J.

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?

On this episode, Daren shaves his mustache to symbolize the ending of his brief career as a porn star, and wonders "what if I don't relate to any of The (individual) Beatles as people?". Jaymee shares another mind-blowing full circle synchronicity story he experienced over the weekend involving Ram Dass and Love Serve Remember, and the spiritually themed Curb Your Enthusiasm moment he found himself in as a result. Daren and Jaymee have an important conversation on the dominant influence porn has played on male sexuality, and how every situation in life is has equal parts magic and heartbreak. All this, plus the big reveal from last week's cliffhanger, and an update on Jaymee's dad that'll warm your heart. *Help support the show at: www.patreon.com/mysticalcynical *Leave us a 2 minute voicemail at: 888-4A-CYNIC / (888) 422-9642*Opening music by J.

What do crunchy teenage socks and The Rolling Stones have in common? Probably a whole lot, but they're also just two examples of A Million Digressions found in Episode 11! Hear about the swarm of bees that took up residence in Jaymee's attic, and how Daren was touched by a freeway angel after getting a flat on the way to the airport. Daren visits his hometown Buffalo, NY for his birthday,  spending time with his brother for the first time since their father passed. Meanwhile, back in California, Jaymee combines spontaneous primal screaming in the shower while listening to Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles as a method for processing current grief. By the end of this episode, the two friends discover the secret of life ("all roads lead to helping people"), and end the episode with a salacious cliffhanger.   *Help support the show at: www.patreon.com/mysticalcynical *Leave us a 2 minute voicemail at: 888-4A-CYNIC / (888) 422-9642*Opening music by J.

When Jaymee's face begins shapeshifting early on in this episode, Daren immediately realizes that he may have gotten a little too stoned prior to taping. As usual, Jaymee leads a heartfelt discussion while Daren hurls grenades of hilarity that explode frequently throughout the episode, which felt like an instant classic from the start. Jaymee tells the story of how he spent the 7th anniversary of his spiritual teacher Vic's passing by leaving a crystal at legendary music producer Rick Rubin's recording studio Shangri-La in Malibu.  Subjects covered: should the United Nations have a fart button to lighten up the mood? Should we all become homeless on skid row to find surrender? Plus Daren becomes a Karen when he defends the right to use the word "homeless", and Jaymee does an impression of Bill Clinton saying the word "compartmentalization". *Help support the show at: www.patreon.com/mysticalcynical *Leave us a 2 minute voicemail at: 888-4A-CYNIC / (888) 422-9642*Opening music by J.

Put this episode on in bed to help ward off the taxman creeping toward you underneath your blankets! Jaymee and Daren discuss the oddity of referring to crime documentaries as "entertainment", whether or not you can bypass karma, and the mechanics of manifesting a life specific to your interests. Jaymee describes how worrying is like saying to the Universe "Give me lack!", and shares how many times he vividly imagines himself dying each day.

Episode 5 takes a dramatic turn from being a hilarious, high-spirited multi-topic bonanza of laughter and insight, to potentially the worlds first real time recording of a massive synchronicity involving actor Jason Segel that Daren wouldn't have believed if he wasn't present for. You'll have to first sit through Jaymee diagnosing Daren's current testical pain as being emotionally linked to his late father, and whether or not legendary songwriters like Mac Miller or Nick Drake were in touch with their approaching deaths and left messages in their music. Jaymee shares a story about how a high school party in his youth turned into a fringe militia recruitment event, and Daren shares a story from his teen years that demonstrates how much dogs love peanut butter. Then the friends check in on how far they've come in their fan appreciation of Jason Segel, and....
