Osman Bears Burdens and the Honey of Life is Mildly Poisonous

A DEEP VOID! What is real...and what is a dream? What is the reality of dreams, and what is the dream of reality? What is the reality of reality, and etc.? In this episode, Osman and the Unexpected Man sustain a process of intercourse with a Romanian friend, Matei. Topics touched upon by the unusual grace of these three figures coming together for dialogue include squatting, double entendres, psychoanalysis, babies, ghosts (boo!), clowns, talking itself, capital cities and blowing up on the world wide web (WWW). At a certain point, however, Matei is replaced by an ersatz (ersatz is a lovely word, isn't it?) guest. Or is he? Heh. 

What is real, and what is a dream? What is THAT?

In this episode of Osman Bears Burdens and the Honey of Life is Mildly Poisonous, Osman and the Unexpected Man encounter a manifold of minor misunderstandings concerning "Nirvana", "The Beatles" (and their influence on Heidegger), the "Hegel Boson" and some other matters. Just an old fashioned conversation between two respectable gentlemen, well versed in the art of truthmaking. The two seekers hedge their bets on who works at the better pizzeria but the real question is: are we in the presence of something completely new or someone just peed on Osman's couch?

Stay tuned!

Are we not in the presence of something completely new? 

Well, we didn't want to say it, until we could be sure you all, our fine listeners would return. 

In this episode, the first of season two of Osman Bears Burdens and the Honey of Life is Mildly Poisonous, the Unexpected Man and the Beekeeper are brought back together by life and its bittersweet contingency. Among other things, they discuss the past, the recent past, happiness, happy places, the food industry, and mortality. 

Welcome back.

In this episode, the existence of this very podcast is endangered by a feud between its creators, Osman, and the Unexpected Man. The discussion includes Osman recounting the tragic tale of an old friend, Peter the parrot, a Polish poet, whose life was scarred by prejudice and unrequited love. Stay tuned!

In this episode, the Unexpected Man unexpectedly gets to be the host, with special guest, Pilar F. playing co-host in Osman's absence due to a trip to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso for a medical conference. They discuss, among other things, county fairs, genital deformities, and a near-fatal tram accident. How will this complicated situation play out? Will the Unexpected Man live up to expectations?

In this episode, Osman and the Unexpected man discuss Osman's brother, Osram and his famed podcast "Osram Has Issues, Life is Very Difficult". This rivalry between brothers appears to be so toxic, so deeply rooted in pain and resentment that the only way to resolve it is to go on the air. No dirty laundry is left unwashed, no dishes are left un-dished.  Meanwhile, the Unexpected man is accused of treason and other high crimes and misdemeanors. Stay tuned!

In this episode, Osman and the Unexpected Man discuss memory, old(er) people, work in a pizzeria, man-struation (which is the same thing as that monthly lady-time thing), and yellow leaves in the fall...among other things.  Hop on, take a long ride with us!

In this episode, Osman is unexpectedly joined by the Unexpected Man, and, to add to the surprise, a special guest! The third ever on this podcast, the Nirvana of all podcasts, a fine German fellow by the name of Paul F. E., and we discuss internet in North Korea, sock sizes, DJ Tsoli, whether true love can help with depression, and explore a host of other tangents. All good.

In this episode, Osman and the Unexpected Man have an expectably great conversation. Things discussed include fatigue, Tarot cards and hands. This episode features a return of two great characters. 

In this episode, Osman and an unpredictable man encounter one another. And great stories come up. Released on a Friday. Except, the father of the podcast's internet made it something else. Still a great episode. 

In this episode, Osman and the Moleman talk to Matias about Mexico, the origin of civilizations, bring up certain unverified rumors about Lufthansa, call a friend and so on...of course.

In the first ever special episode of 'Osman Bears Burdens and the Honey of Life is Mildly Poisonous', we try to solve our first ever mystery, the mystery of whether or not the podcast might have a listener from Burkina Faso, and if so, whether or not said listener might have sent us fan mail. We experience first hand the beauty and grace of the act of translation, specifically, translation from French to English, and vice versa.

Joining us in person: Matias E. A., the guest from Episode 5.

Joining us but not in person: Bono S., who speaks French to a certain extent.

Also discussed: our favorite German food.
