Emerson Dameron's Avril 14
We explore the meditative practice of water pouring and how this simple action can become a mindful ritual. The episode demonstrates how everyday actions can be opportunities for presence and attention. • Using water itself as a tool to manipulate more water • The repetitive nature of pouring as a mindfulness practice • Finding beauty and meaning in seemingly mundane activities • How small, deliberate actions can create moments of presence • Connecting to ancient traditions through simple everyday rituals Try this water-pouring exercise at home. Pour slowly, with full attention, and notice the sensations, sounds, and visual experience. Please share your experiences with us on social media using #MindfulPouring. For Richard D. James, Sofia Coppola, and all of us who celebrate. ti wonk uoy erofeb revo eb lliw ti Got something to say to me?

Metamorphosis in Ecstasy: Unexpected Journeys in American Nightlife
Let's cut the nonsense about power corrupting. Power is pure voltage, baby – it's what you do with the current that electrocutes your enemies or lights up the world. If you're afraid of power, stay tuned. Because this episode will rewire your moral circuitry and show you why your ethical hang-ups about influence are precisely why you need more of it. The saints who shun power are leaving the controls to the sinners, and how's that working out for everyone? Get ready for a masterclass in ethical dominance where you'll discover: Why your resistance to power is really resistance to yourself How to stop confusing manipulation with mastery The dirty little secret about why good people finish last (spoiler: they're choosing to) Why your relationship with power is more intimate than your last three lovers combined This isn't just another podcast episode – it's an intervention for the chronically powerless. For the empaths who keep getting steamrolled by sociopaths. For the bright minds dimming their light because they're scared of their own voltage. Your mental wealth is your real net worth, and we're here to make you spiritually rich enough to buy and sell your old limiting beliefs on the cosmic stock exchange. The weak want power to dominate. The strong want power to create. And the wise? They're already listening to this episode, because they know that true intimacy with power is the ultimate foreplay for changing the world. Stop being so awfully polite about your potential. Power isn't coming to ask for your consent – it's waiting for you to claim it. Listen now. Or don't. But remember: your resistance to power is someone else's permission to use it against you. The choice is yours. And that's the first taste of power you'll get today. Welcome to the revolution between your ears. All that, plus a pop-in from Helena the Brit! And all the lessons in love, leadership, lechery, and letting go you've come to expect from The Only Good Podcast™!

Fragments of Desire: A Love Story
Step inside a space where romance dissolves, reassembles, and defies linear time. Here, each glance, every touch, and whispered secret transforms into vibrant, disjointed symbols—each moment hanging like a half-forgotten dream in the fevered pulse of a Cubist landscape. As Jill—demure, strawberry-blonde, and shyly sensual—ventures deeper into the maze of this playful, dangerous world, she encounters shadows of herself and layers of him that emerge, vanish, and reappear as distorted reflections. Her journey is a whirlwind of open loops and callbacks, riddles within riddles, where every encounter is doubled, refracted, and turned inside-out. Embrace the labyrinthine unknown where boundaries blur, roles reverse, and eroticism merges with danger to ignite hidden desires in a twisted lover’s waltz. Lose yourself in a hallucinatory landscape where the heart's maze twists with vibrant colors and sharp contrasts, each scene laced with seductive undertones and reflected revelations. Fragments of Desire will leave you reeling and breathless, caught between what is, what isn’t, and what you wish could be. PS: You know who you are. Got something to say to me?

Embrace Chaos: Self-Love, Sadism, and the Power of Creativity
What if the very things you think you can't control are exactly where your power lies? On this episode of Medicated Minutes, we challenge you to rethink the inevitability of life's events and the importance of personal responsibility, all wrapped in Emerson Dameron's signature humor and wit. We kick off with a passionate monologue that tackles these existential themes head-on, urging you to embrace life's chaos rather than resist it. From the ironies of trying to stop the unstoppable to finding freedom in the mundane, we present a philosophy that turns conventional wisdom on its head. Can you love yourself without succumbing to the trap of fame? We then pivot to a deep-dive into the paradoxical dance between self-love and sadism, exploring how public attention can wreak havoc on mental health. By drawing parallels with historical figures and examining consensual sadistic practices, we illustrate the necessity of rigorous self-discipline and mutual respect for personal growth. This segment is a hard-hitting look at how embracing one's flaws and leveraging past pain can pave the way for true healing and transformation. Finally, we explore the transformative power of shedding one's ego and embracing observational awareness. Through the poignant story of Scarlet Obscura, a Nova Scotian artist seeking meaning in Los Angeles, we emphasize the importance of creativity and curiosity in understanding both ourselves and others. This narrative serves as a testament to the power of art and self-expression amidst life's unpredictability. Tune in to discover how you can harness creativity, humor, and empathy to navigate the chaos of existence and find deeper meaning in everyday life. Got something to say to me?

Deception's Desire: A Bite-Sized Erotic Thriller by Emerson Dameron
Sex sells — but who's lying? Dive into a seductive world of corporate intrigue and agency life with Deception's Desire , a Bite-Sized Erotic Thriller by Emerson Dameron — with a touch of office horror and a twist of ASMR. In a boundary-pushing, morally compromised advertising agency, a gung-ho ad exec mixes friction and flirtation with his new foil, a tender but tenacious creative director. As he compromises his professional ethics and slides into nihilistic self-deception, she pushes back with more risk-taking creative work. But only when they find themselves lonely and vulnerable do they start to understand themselves, each other, and their genuinely decadent and dangerous deeper desires. Deception's Desire is a special production of Emerson Dameron's Medicated Minutes, LA's #1 avant-garde personal development program, the only good podcast, and the home of the Bite-Sized Erotic Thrillers. Produced, written, and performed by Emerson Dameron, with gratitude to Urban Dictionary and the Arbinger Institute. Also available on Bandcamp. Support the arts.

I’m Emerson Dameron: LA’s number-one avant-garde motivational speaker. Writer. Satirist. Possible performance artist. Host, producer, and witty and wounded romantic hero of Emerson Dameron’s Medicated Minutes. I post short, satirical experimental videos about sex, drugs, power, Satanic Buddhism, etc. They mix cynical humor with wounded romanticism and seek power and self-realization through surrealism and play. The unexamined life is worthless. The examined life can be hell. Sick humor may not be the healthiest coping mechanism, but if you like dark satire regardless, you’re in the right place. Here’s a sampler of some of the best.

Baking Soda
Sodium bicarbonate—God's own dandruff—might be humanity's most overlooked miracle substance. From ancient Egyptian cat owners to modern apartment dwellers, this magical powder has quietly solved problems across millennia while barely changing its humble form. When grief hits and the world feels impossibly messy, baking soda remains steady and reliable. After losing my cat Owen after fifteen years together, I found myself in that strange liminal space where apartments get filthy seemingly by themselves and everyday tasks feel insurmountable. Yet this simple powder offered both practical solutions and metaphorical comfort—something unchanging in a world where everything else feels temporary. The magic extends beyond cleaning. Those painful canker sores that plagued me since getting braces? A simple paste of baking soda and water provides remarkable relief. Breathing troubles from a deviated septum? A nasal irrigation solution with baking soda works wonders. What other substance can clean your microwave, soothe your wounds, and help you breathe better? But deeper philosophical questions lurk beneath these practical applications. Our brains, optimized for survival rather than thriving, perceive only about three percent of what's happening around us. We tell ourselves stories about reality that may have little connection to what's occurring. Perhaps baking soda's greatest gift is its straightforward reliability in a world where very little makes sense and even less stays the same. Whether you're struggling with grief, seeking natural remedies, or simply wanting to clean more effectively, this episode explores how simplicity often trumps complexity. What ancient wisdom might we rediscover by embracing basic solutions? And what might the humble box of baking soda in your pantry teach you about resilience, adaptability, and finding order amid chaos? The beauty of practicality. The complexities of grief. The urgency of the mundane. The joy of breathing. Emerson Dameron's Medicated Minutes is a production of KCHUNG . Music by Visions of the Universe . Inspiration from The Baking Soda Bible.
