Get your scoops, get your sprinkles, get your spoons, and
get ready for Doctor ice Cream to diagnose you. This
is the Doctor ice Cream podcast. Hello, Hello, this is
Doctor ice Cream coming live from location. I am in
(00:23):
ned Kelly Country. That's as far as I'm willing to
try angulate on my location. But I'm just thinking about
ned Kelly today, not only because I keep seeing him everywhere,
but because of the quote such is life and we
don't want to make a hero of ned Kelly. I'm
not saying that, but the phrase such as life has
(00:44):
come to me today. As I'm live on location, I
have extended my stay. I know I threatened to do
that the other day. I'm still here. I'm here till Friday,
and then I guess I'll be returning to my real
life and the real world. But in the meantime, I'm
in the middle of almost nowhere. It's enough of nowhere
(01:04):
to be still somewhere, but enough of somewhere to still
be nowhere. Last night, I said a phrase that was
really a huge contradiction, and I would like to unpack
it a bit today on the podcast. I said I
said that lad I said, oh, life is good, and
I very quickly corrected myself, because whoa, I'm not a
life is a good person. No, no, no, I said, life
(01:26):
is good. Oh no, hang on, no it's not. That's
not what I mean. Life isn't good. Being alive is good,
like living things are good. Life. It's as a concept
it's wonderful, but actually being alive not so sure. Guys.
That's something I've always struggled with on this planet. Tapped
into the matrix. I've always struggled with appreciating life and
(01:49):
not to get too dark, not to get too deep.
But yes, that has always been a struggle of mine.
So for the worst to come out of my mouth,
life is good, Like I'm just that sort of chilled, relaxed,
everything's good sort of person. That was really strange for
that to come out of my mouth, and I sort
of had I noticed. I quickly took it back. I
quickly took it back. Don't want to manifest too much positive,
(02:10):
it's too much positivity. I quickly re reframed it and said, no,
I don't mean that. I don't mean that the experience
I'm having is any good. I just mean that, like
actual living things are great, Like I have a lot
of love these days for absolutely, like every living creature.
Like I will say a little bug, a spider and
(02:32):
just be like, Oh, this spider is just so cute,
so wonderful and the teeniest, tiniest bug. I think wow, like,
how how did that come to life? What is life for? Such?
Such is life? Get Why can I not apply that
same framing to myself? I can say a spider and think, Wow,
(02:54):
you're amazing. You're a spider. You don't need to do
anything but be a spider. But then I say, hey,
doctor ice cream, you have to be so much more
than just a doctor of ice cream. You have to
be everything. You have to be the most amazing, fantastic
person that's ever existed. Otherwise there's just no point at all.
And that is a pretty whacked way of looking at things,
(03:16):
to be honest. So you know, it's just something I'm
exploring and unpacking a bit. The fact that that came
out my mouth last night. Where I can be on
one side of the coin so positive and optimistic and
loving and have so much compassion and empathy for life,
and yet I am twenty four to seven complaining about,
(03:36):
you know, my own experiences on the planet and essentially
trying to make my way off this planet. I remember
the song lyrics I wrote once I've been coming to
me this morning, and they went how did they go?
They went, when do I get to leave this planet?
When do I get to fly away? And the song
sort of just repeated that, and I think the name
(03:57):
of the song is when do I get to leave
this planet? And all day to day I've been like, Yes,
let's go, let's go to other space, let's get away,
Let's finally let's leave. It's my absolute dream guy, to
just get off this planet. I would just absolutely love
to go to a different planet. That has been my
sort of mo for many years. If you've been listening
(04:18):
from the start, you know I've constantly been talking about
how to get off this planet. But would life on
Mars or a pink planet on the other side of
the universe be any better than my current life? If
life is so good, if life is wonderful, then why
would it be any different anywhere else that it is
(04:40):
such as life? So what is in a name? I
was watching this TikTok yesterday. I forget the name of
a phenomenon. But it's when you say a word and
it sounds like two different things at once. Scosh. I
should probably research, but I am currently just just live
(05:00):
on the road, literally walking along the road, and so
I don't really want to stop and pull up Google.
But it's when a phrase sounds like two different things
at once. So like the song Britney Spears, if you
seek Amy has sounds like two different things if you listen,
then it depends what you're thinking of. And I noticed,
(05:22):
I just realized I clocked us for the first time, guys,
that doctor ice cream, as in eating an ice cream,
also sounds identical to doctor I scream. Okay, So I've
been wondering if maybe subconsciously I've think's using this name
not because it's a creamy, sweet, delicious, you know, quirky title,
(05:47):
but because deep down it has a double meaning Doctor
ice Cream. I scream into the void, Oh my gosh,
literally like literally, I'm just screaming into my microphone into
avoid Oh my gosh, I am screaming, screaming for help.
I just will wonder. I'm just putting that out there, guys,
what is in the name of doctor ice Cream? Because
(06:09):
I am still here as doctor ice Cream. I just
can't shake that name, and I don't know why. I'm
very attached to it. I don't know why, just very
attached to I can't let it go. So this podcast
is still called that. I'm not too sure what else
(06:32):
I really need to update about. It's gonna be a
very short podcast if I leave it at these two
little topic matters. I will say, guys, I have noticed
one thing about myself recently, just how much I absolutely
hate to be a psychic. And I've said this for ages,
like being psychic is such a curse. But yesterday I
tried to go to the supermarket on a Sunday, and
(06:53):
there is something so off about Sunday vibes. I know
we call it the Sunday scaries, but I don't know
why people are just absolutely feral inside on a Sunday.
Because I walked into the supermarket and I just got
the energy of everyone in there being like I absolutely
hate what I'm doing. If I go to the supermarket
on a Thursday or Friday, people are happy, and I
(07:16):
just I don't just mething I on the outside. I
mean like I can feel like they're like whoohoo, and
on Sunday everyone's like, fuck my life, Fuck the fact
I'm here in the supermarket. I just hate today, and
I could just feel the vibes off in general. Yesterday.
I was after I went to the supermarket, I sat
alone in my little Airbnb for a while. I'll get
(07:37):
to what I was doing in the minute. Actually, guys,
but I was even on my own, I could still
feel just the vibes of everyone just being like fuck Sunday,
Like why does Sunday have such a heavy vibe. I
really think we need to get delve more into this
topic at some stage. I just really wonder why it's
gonna be because the majority of people go to work
(07:59):
on a Monday, and everyone is just dreading that and
hating that on the Sunday. You can just feel it.
I don't even need to be around people, and I
know that it's happening. So, yeah, what was I doing
yesterday alone in my Airbnb? While I was doing all
the fun things you can do, I was disassociating, spiraling,
(08:24):
and panicking. It was the Big three, guys. Well, I
know the Big three. I've seen the Big three disassociating,
panicking and impending doom. Those are different three. Maybe there's
maybe there's a few big there's a few big threes,
but that's what I was doing yesterday afternoon. And I
don't know if it's just because I was picking up
the vibes of everyone on the planet or whether I
(08:45):
was just having a really shit day, but yesterday was
just bad. The vibes are back today, though it's feeling
a bit better. Life is good. Life is good, guys,
such as life, see you next.
