[Talking Dad] Ep. 36 - Bowl Movement
Added 2020-07-01 06:20:02 +0000 UTC
This time we spend an hour talking more about the game we're playing on the main podcast, and a bit about our inner creative lives...
Men saying “I’d be amazing at writing/directing porn.” Is the same as women saying they’d be an amazing stripper/porn star. 😝 and then they try it and find out that it’s a skill like every other creative field and it’s not the guaranteed money-making fallback that they thought

Beth: "I feel like I could be a really good-bad-therapist. I could just get women to leave shitty people."
Am psychotherapist: that is a not-insignificant proportion of how I approach my work. So if you ever need a side-hussle from the podcast, torpedoing bad relationships is a growing industry.

Yes. s01e33, 38:06: Beth calls for a dad huddle without Anthony on the headphones and says: "Paedon is definitely an anchor, am I right? Maybe he's not even real. Maybe he's just taken the form of some sort . . "
Also funny: Matt responded: "How do we test that? Do we kill him?"
They recorded that over a month before this episode so not surprising they could've forgotten this throwaway comment by the time of the reveal. (Whereas I listened to it yesterday.) I expect similar fan theories trace back back to this episode. But since we all generally suck at source-memory, it's hard to differentiate between "my idea" vs "good idea I got from someone else that I agree with".

Sometimes they have a heartfelt discussion about creativity, and sometimes they talk about porn for a really long time! Perfect podcast

The Paeden dilemma seems rather solvable with the Deck of Many Things. Unless they left it in the car.

In Anthony's defense Bordelands 2 wasn't a bad game due to writing, it was more an issue with the way the player characters were. All the characters felt so lackluster intheir own backgrounds and play style compared to the first game. But the npcs were mostly all so interesting and more fleshed out then you would expect in a fps game. Plus it gave birth to one of the most popular video game npcs there is.

This was a really impactful episode to hear. Living as a creative in a world where everything feel so much can feel very depressing, but like Freddy said as long as you are making yourself happy and doing the best work you can for yourself makes it all meaningful.

As a new supporter I'm binging all the TDs and as someone who's struggling with the desire to make meaningful art the discussion about praise/criticism and creating art was incredibly thought-provoking - have a feeling I might have to relisten to this one when I'm done binging

This was a great episode, they all are great, but I felt like this had a really good balance of table talk and other topics.

Grants issues are internal. They need to be solved ‘internally’

I think I may have been the person who did the Reddit post Beth was talking about. I am very sorry if I hurt her or anything. I was trying to aim the critique more at Ron. I honestly enjoy Beth's humor the vast majority of the time.

Also, I realise this is entirely hypothetical as he is a fictional character but I find it a wonderful thought experiment and a healthy way to delve into issues of mental health. Plus it's fun.

Speaking from my own experience, I think that Grant is experiencing dissociation. Maybe Erin or Mr. Moustache or someone could let Darryl know that Grant needs 'grounding' (if Anthony would like to look that up, maybe that's just a butt tonne of work for little outcome, I don't know).
And, of course I'm also on the side of Darryl leading by example and showing emotional vulnerability so Grant knows that it's ok for a man to have that. To cry or break down is a totally acceptable response to major trauma.
It's possible that he's been dissociating for a while to a lesser extent, to try to live up to Darryl and that these major events have triggered a larger response.
I'm not a doctor or expert in any way. I can only speak from what I have learned through my own struggles and years of therapy. (Also having 2 psychologists in the family that I have learned a lot from ❤️).

Maybe Darryl can take Grant to the therapist that Erin mentioned to Ron
