'Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness', Freud once stipulated - an insight with high relevance for our not so humane current times. With two of the three musqueteers beeing live together in Ljubljana, the guys probe questions about law, religion and science : Why can a company have judicial standing as its own entity or persona? And what does cats have to do with it all ? (or rather, perhaps, not have to do with it…).

Why is it so difficult to talk about a positive future? How or where can we find ways to do it anyway? The guys explore what happens when we have the capacity to wait and withstand frustration, and what happenss when we dont. They talk about a moral imperative to act in the world; and about finding those people who need you as additional conduits to creatively co-dream a possible future. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/real-it-in-cast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/real-it-in-cast/support

In this episode the guys continue the exploration of what's wrong with modern psychiatry and mental health leading into the ever widening raft between progressive, emancipating ideologies and a conservative, rigid way of conceptualizing reality. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/real-it-in-cast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/real-it-in-cast/support

A propos the tragic homicide of a homeless man on the NYC tube the RII crew discuss the prolongation of psychic and socioeconomic pain as kind of cries into the wilderness - they all somehow trigger a need to remain asleep in those who refuse to see that torch of hope and community beyond the confines of shortsighted economic gratification. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/real-it-in-cast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/real-it-in-cast/support

Today, we try something risky and avant-garde: What happens when, live, on camera, someone gets asked “How was your week?”. The Real Boys head right into an exploration of holidays, family and friends, the clan we're born into and the ones we create, and how the bonds are made and frayed. Being who we are, we dive into the socioeconomic, psychosexual, and cultural twists impacting human bonds and their complications. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/real-it-in-cast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/real-it-in-cast/support

The real it in boys reunite to discuss the symbolism of their real world meeting and their journeys to Arctic Norway, in the company of Eagles, of the real and dreamworld varieties. Joe helps Martin and Dan unpack the warm experience of wandering, wondering, and grooving to South American jazz together in the far north, finding a little true-self and deeper questions along the way. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/real-it-in-cast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/real-it-in-cast/support

In season one's last episode we look back on the conversations, meetings and learnings we have had thus far. A bit surprisingly, perhaps, our jamming takes us to talking about 'reality tv' as a concept, sitcoms and how we hope to venture into more of joy, play and spontaneous jams in a season two that will be largely explored as a live-streaming project. Is our journey taking us towards Winnicott-land- a field of playing and reality?

In this episode Joe pops the question of how to best understand the idea of ownership; who can say that they actually own what? Since when? On what terms? What is it that really drives the “liberal guilt” and conservative contempt in society? And is the notion of ownership a sign of our failure to acknowledge and repair the basic empathic failures at the heart of a capitalist world?

In this episode Dan asks whether Homo Sapiens could in fact be better understood as Homo Oneiros, or The Dreaming People? Dreams fill our art and entertainment, our museums, the shows we watch, and our search for truth in science and psychology. We sleep a third of our lifetime, and entertain visionary ideas and imaginatory explorations for much of the remaining two. What if dreaming is the biggest deal of all?

In this episode the Real it in crew is visited by Adam Shechter, a practicing psychoanalyst working out of New York. We talk about areas of convergence between physical places; stoops, cafés, Capitol Hill, and stand up comedy arenas, and the psychical avenues these excursions awaken within, across and between us. We speculate on what the attackers of the capitol hill was really 'searching' for, and reaffirm the ethical imperative that is found in the friendly face of the other.

Martin tells a horrifying story, of how a pitch perfect Swedish summer night, within two minutes turned upside down. How one footbridge in Stockholm became a mini-war-zone. The group addresses the trauma of "The Real" from a metaphysical and existential perspective. How should one approach the fact that sometimes shit happens to us, the world we inhabit changes, and perhaps we do, as well?

In this episode, Martin, Dan and Joe share a tale involving a psychoanalyst-war-veteran reciting Milton's Paradise lost at a glamorous garden party, as remembered by a psychoanalytic mystic of the following generation. This led to Dan's writing his book and from there meeting Martin. It is a collective musing on the power of making bids for connection to one another, paying it forward where it matters and, on how a little can go a long way in life.
