Christina P. 0:21
But I was just saying to you, I feel like I have a year of complete And you laughed at me. Yeah,
Duncan Trussell 0:27
I laughed. Well, just cause you said a year. Well, how long will this take? I mean, what the fuck? Well, I I think God damn it you you accidentally are joining the war against hedonism that is raging across this planet. No one's talking about the war against Basic hedonism. You're right. All the hippies. You're right. We when when I was a young hippie We did drugs to get high. We like to get high and we dig drugs because we like to get high. Now all these kids, they're taking medicine. You know, it's the plant medicine. They're they want to heal their traumas. It's like, dude, that is not why you do drugs. You do drugs, they get fucked up.
Christina P. 1:11
You need to forget the the the miserableness of your existence. And like I think objectively people would even look at our lives and be like, what are these two fucking assholes complaining about? And it's like, no matter who, it's just like and I have a great life. Like I have everything. And I'm fucking stoked on my life most of the time. But there's this underlying existential.

How do they define the ‘war on hedonism’ and contrast drug use with plant medicine?

Christina P. 1:34
Fuckery. It's the the void.
Duncan Trussell 1:36
The void.
Christina P. 1:36
Have you been there? I I
Duncan Trussell 1:38
fucking went there yesterday. I'm Buddhist. This is it! This is what the whole thing is is trying to sort of point out. They're like it do it doesn't really matter and you know, if people hearing Folks who they view as having this or that that they don't have when the moment you you start quote complaining, people get a little suspicious, like you have no fucking idea what I'm going through. But yeah, the general um idea is that you can't really like nothing in the material world is going to solve the problem that you're describing. Nothing not in not
Christina P. 2:13
Not even that, no one in the material world. Nothing no one. The only So here's what I was gonna fucking tell you, dude. Okay. I mean Should we fucking okay, here's the thing, dude. So I was meditating in the void yesterday. Like going into the heart of darkness. Yeah. Like I'm talking like deep spiritual, like the root of all my fucking sadness, darkness. And I accepted it. I was like, yeah, dude. Like the hedonism, the the envy, the lust, the greed, the anger, all the shittiest parts of me that I've I've been a good girl my whole life or convinced myself that I'm good. Yeah. And it's like, oh no, I'm a piece of shit too. I'm also a a piece of shit.
Duncan Trussell 2:56
Yeah. Feels great, right? Liberation. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It's kind of like you sync up with the way you actually are. Yeah. And and and the tension between how you want to be and how you actually are goes away. Yeah. And you just get to experience yourself purely as you. And that's a good feeling.
Christina P. 3:18
And the relief that I don't have to be. good. I don't have to be anything. Right. Because I was so convinced I had to be perfect. I had to be a perfect mother, a perfect wife, a perfect comedian. I gotta be thin, I gotta da da da da and it's so exhausting 'cause you're like, oh none of that shit matters because this this is all gonna change and evolve and decay anyway. Yes. You'll come back again.
Duncan Trussell 3:40
Yes.
Christina P. 3:40
And like Yeah. I don't know, dude. It was such a relief yesterday to not to not be like a self that has to be dedicated to these ideals of who I am. Yeah, we're all self. Yeah, we're all
Duncan Trussell 3:51
self crucifying, you know. There's the you that you wanna be and the you that you are, and you just nail yourself up on this ridiculous torture mechanism where you wake up and you think about all the shit that you should do and you know you're not gonna do, and you feel this sinking feeling in your gut, and you're just like, What the fuck is wrong with me? And then
Tom Segura 4:13
What the fuck is wrong with me, game?
Duncan Trussell 4:15
Everyone's waking up thinking that and it's there's so much money in that.

What does their discussion of the ‘void’ and meditation reveal about personal liberation?

Duncan Trussell 4:19
