Author: Duncan Trussell Family Hour July 31, 2017 Duration: 1:14:49

Tattoo artist, Robert Ryan (The Inborn Absolute) joins the DTFH and we dive deep into the world of Bhakti Yoga, Shaivism, and finding god in all things.


You’re invited into a space where laughter and deep inquiry aren’t mutually exclusive. The Duncan Trussell Family Hour unfolds as a series of long-form, meandering conversations that feel more like late-night talks with old friends than formal interviews. Hosted by comedian Duncan Trussell, this podcast regularly ventures into territories many shows avoid, weaving together stand-up comedy’s irreverence with sincere explorations of spirituality, philosophy, and the quirks of modern culture. Episodes often feature a diverse range of guests-from fellow comedians and artists to philosophers, spiritual teachers, and even the occasional psychedelic researcher-all contributing to a unique dialogue that is by turns profoundly thoughtful and absurdly funny. What you’ll hear is a genuine curiosity about the human experience, where discussions about meditation or the nature of consciousness might be punctuated by a ridiculous bit or a personal story from Duncan’s own life. It’s this unpredictable blend that defines the experience, creating a sense of community for anyone who finds humor in existential dread or wisdom in unexpected places. The result is a consistently surprising audio journey that challenges conventional categories, making each episode a unique exploration of what it means to be alive, confused, and occasionally enlightened, all while laughing at the sheer strangeness of it all.
