Young guy writes a Substack piece about his favorite author, Cormac McCarthy. It gets a few reads, and turns out that one of those readers knows old Cormac and actually reads him the piece. In fact, she’s known and loved old Cormac for 40+ years. She corresponds with the young guy and eventually decides he’s the right person to tell her story, which is a love story that began almost half a century ago, when she was a homeless 16 year-old girl who randomly met a not yet famous author in his 40s sitting by the pool at a run-down motel in New Mexico. Crazy, wild love story/lifelong friendship commences. Young guy writes this forbidden love story , publishes it in Vanity Fair in prissy, easily offended 2024, and all hell breaks loose. Vincenzo’s Substack is here . Vincenzo’s professor’s Substack is here . Dare to join us in Montana this summer! If you’re gonna buy stuff on Amazon, please use this link . Intro music “Brightside of the Sun,” by Basin and Range . “Star People,” by George Michael. “Come on in My Kitchen,” sung by Chris Thomas King . This is a public episode.

This conversation was originally recorded in September, 2018, when Theo was famous, but not yet FAMOUS. We talked about his recent trip to China, whether mental health issues can be considered a luxury, the ethics of sleeping with married women, Louis CK’s fall from grace, obscure masturbation techniques, and the strangeness of fame. The main thing I felt re-listening to this conversation was just how real Theo was/is. He seems to instinctively understand the power of vulnerability. No pretense with this guy. Intro music “Brightside of the Sun,” by Basin and Range . “Big Time,” by Peter Gabriel. Outro: “Party at the End of the World,” by Carsie Blanton . This is a public episode.

I met Aaron at the Budokon retreat this summer, and I was immediately impressed by his candor, kindness, and the depth of his intellect. Then, when I learned that he led men’s groups, I thought he’d be a great guest for the podcast, since I know little about that world and, in fact, have some resistance to what often ends up being somewhat exploitative of men’s very real sense of alienation and desperation. But Aaron seemed like the real deal, so I invited him to set me straight on that. Please check out Khuda , the app I mentioned, and let Pete Lord and me know what you think.

Deborah and her husband lost everything but their lives and each other when Hurricane Helene washed away their house a few weeks ago. Deborah’s experience of this “emergence” is framed by her experiences as a Zen Buddhist monk, teacher, and author. I greatly appreciate her trust in sharing her thoughts and insights — even while still immersed in the rawness of her grief and shock at almost being swept away with her home and everything in it. Listen to her explain what it’s like to find diamonds in the wreckage. Here’s the video Deborah took in the ruins of her home: If you are moved to help in the recovery, please go here .
