Ep72: Spirituality and Other Musings w Myq Kaplan

Myq Kaplan, comedian extraordinaire joins me today! Myq will be performing at our Sacred Comedy show in Jersey City on April 15th, so come on down to see him live! Today we talk about spirituality in everyday life, buddhism, various philosophies and some of the teachings of Ram Dass, Byron Katie, and Alan Watts. I ponder whether psychedelics and buddhism are the bro gateway drug for psychic or “magic” spirituality, we discuss the similarities between being a comedic performer and being a psychic delivering a reading, thoughts on suffering, and how we find spirituality in the buffet of options in the world today. I really love this conversation, it makes me smile!

Myq Kaplan has appeared on the Tonight Show, Conan, Letterman, James Corden, Seth Meyers, Comedy Central, Last Comic Standing, and America’s Got Talent. He has a one-hour standup special on Amazon, “Small, Dork, and Handsome,” and two podcasts, The Faucet and Broccoli and Ice Cream. His debut album, “Vegan Mind Meld,” was one of iTunes’ top 10 comedy albums of the year, and his newest album, “A.K.A.,” debuted at #1 and was called “invigoratingly funny” by the NY Times!
