Hey everybody, welcome back to Dying Laughing. I'm your host, Jesse May Paluso, and today's guest is

someone who's built an entire career around telling the truth, even when it hurts. Writer, an

unapologetic truth teller, Kyle Creek, also known as the captain, well, formerly known as,

kind of like Prince. In this episode, we are talking about

the deaths we don't bury, those parts of ourselves that we lose that don't come with funerals,

the identity shifts, the emotional ego deaths, the breakups, the rock bottoms, and the silent

grief that doesn't always get named, but it still hits like a freight train.

Kyle shares his own journey through loss, what it taught him, what it took from him, and how it

kind of shaped the voice so many people now turn to for honesty.

We talk about how men are taught to grieve or not to grieve, how pain can turn into purpose,

and what it means to let go of the version of yourself that won't survive the next chapter.

This episode is real, it's raw, it's one hell of a ride.

I hope you enjoyed this conversation as much as I did.

Let's get into it, Dying Laughing with Kyle Creek.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to Dying Laughing with Jesse May. We have a guest today. I'm very excited to have this guest on, and I was just telling him

that initially when I knew I was going to have him on, I wanted to talk about the stages of grief

and maybe pick a particular stage in grief and have us dive deep into it because he is someone

who I know that I can tread those dark waters with without feeling insecure

and being able to be pulled in deeper with because he has that capacity. But then, like so many

times recently in my life, I think due to, I said do-do, due to a relative newfound sobriety.

Not like I'm on a 12-step program, but just clearing out toxicity in my life, I had this

epiphany come to me and I was like, oh, I want to talk about death.
