Summary

Cale Tyson is a musician originally from Texas, now living in my neighborhood in LA. He came by several weeks ago and we talked about our neighborhood feeling like high school, what he was like in high school, self-mythologizing, craving validation in projects (and beyond), and being allergic to earnestness…all before getting into his wild story of how he ended up going to rehab and getting sober last summer. He honestly explains what got him to that point with his trademark combo of self-deprecation and earnest humor. His new book, "Some Memories Are Only Thoughts”, just came out. We talk about that too as well as writing, sharing our work, and cringing at the process of it all. He’s a real gentle, sweet guy who makes me laugh and surprised me with a bunch of wisdom in this. And I surprised him with a few questions from his friends. Let us know if you listen.

point, which means we talk about drugs. So if you're listening around people or children or someone

1:39.4

who, you know, you might not want to have that on your speaker, just a heads up, put your headphones

in. It's not a dare class or anything. Drugs are cool. You know, everybody's different,

do whatever. But he just shares his really honest experience with recovery and there's a lot

of wisdom in that. And it's a really great story.

2:23.3

I was saying to you before we started recording that I see you often and we had a real stretch there for a while when we would see each other
