I had a mini stroke 5 almost 6 years ago and when I came out of it I had a stutter which drove me crazy because everything went through my head coherent but when I tried to say it , it was like my mouth and brain were not on the same wave length. It took almost 2 years to sound normal to myself and still have an occasional problem . I watched alot of drew standup on the internet while recovering and brought me so much inspiration while recovering. Just a good soul
A good friend of mine growing up had mild stutter, to the point he wouldn't speak in some situations. I'd sideline rip on him for being silent and eventually get him to laugh and relax. He was harder on himself than anyone else was. Good conversation is good conversation, no matter how its layed out
Drew is so funny! It’s been a couple years since I watched any of his stuff, but even if this is a more casual atmosphere, it’s incredible just how little Drew is stuttering. I can only imagine how difficult it has been over the years to relearn how to talk. Incredible that people can watch someone break a leg and when they can walk without crutches they think nothing of it, but when Drew has probably spent about 2-3 total years in hours of speech therapy to talk about as well as he used to, people think he’s a liar.
Thank you, Drew, for being so inspirational and brave! I'm truly sorry that some people have been cruel to you, but please know that there are A LOT of people that absolutely LOVE what you do!
Drew, thank you so much for being so open about your mindset, challenges, and haters/critics. Still to this day reference your AGT debut to people who I think need inspiration and confidence in their life. Your description of "directing your life" is spot on for social anxiety. Keep being you!
It's kind of weird to see people address him by his name on a clip channel. It's kind of like going over to Bobby's house and saying hey joe I love you so much.
Love you Drew! Everything you said about the disconnect, and not being able to just say want you want, and constantly thinking about how your going to say something is EXACTLY how I feel almost everyday. I also stutter due to TBI. Two TBI's infact to the same spot on back of my head. First happened in 4th grade, the stuttering went away in my late teens and after the second in my 30's it came back, worse than before. I'm 50 now and its not gotten any better.
It’s incredible how much his speech has improved. I used to watch his UA-cam videos several years ago and even with cutting most of the stutter out of the videos he was pretty bad. If you didn’t know he was a stutterer now you probably wouldn’t think twice about it - lots of people stutter this much (or little) as they think about what they are going to say next. In fact my son stutters worse than this on occasion, but I never mention it to him because I don’t want it to be an issue for him.
Love your comedy Drew! In town and just saw you at the Laugh Factory on Sunset 3/13. Great show! Thank you so much for sharing your story. Sending you lots of love and healing energy as you continue moving forward. Thanks again for sharing your gifts, talents, laughter with the world and making it an easier place to be. 💙✨🩵
Thank you for having Drew Lynch on your show. He is an amazing person. The more I learn about his journey, the more impressed I become. From the moment he stepped out onto a stage to consciously embrace his challenges and use them to make people happy, he won. His development has progressed exponentially because he worked his ass off and never gave up. During his career, he was also continuing to live his life, pay bills, date, and interact with the people around him. Now, he is married and has a child, I believe. That is a whole other layer of becoming who he is now. I adore his comedy and his personality onstage. He has given himself permission to not be perfect. We should all be so lucky. I am sure he will only get better and better with time. I love his sassy smile and infectious laugh. Wouldn’t it be cool to be his neighbor? Or better yet, his friend. ❤ Brenda P
Drew, I only recently heard about you .i went back to find the AGT piece you were in and, I can see the huge amount of work you have put in to improve your speech. I hope things continue to get better. I laughed so hard about your “my wife has adhd” skit, I too have adhd and it hit home so hard. I believe you are incredible at improve. You think so quick, deal with hecklers and jump into changed topics on stage so fast, just brilliant.
That's total bs that people were accusing Drew of faking. Ticks me off. My bio dad told me that I don't have seizures because mine isn't the one where I fall and shake. Mine is like a hiccup in my brain. (Myoclonic) When you have the hiccups, your diaphragm contracts hard. That's a myoclonic shock.
I have spastic paraplegia. Nobody knows what that even is, let alone the ramifications of that disease and over the past 3 years the utter degradation of life for me. I know what he means.
Thank you for adding your perspective to the comment section. People with real world experience with debilitating brain issues need to have their voices heard. The amount of ignorance in the world never ceases to amaze me: There are a few hacks / trolls here alleging Drew’s TBI is non-existent - a mere ploy to garner attention. And that is NOT funny. Likely they’re the same sort who go about harassing cardiac patients for having handicapped passes. I wish you the best. 🙂

Its understandable, some lack the ability to recognize and comprehend intention and purpose of even just a couple quotes from a video. Some find it difficult to acknowledge opposing statements or ideas on their own after receiving the information through a video. Then even some may still not possess the intelligence needed to discover and perceive an underlying meaning from information given through the form of a video then as a couple of quotes directly from said video pointing out something as simple as a contradiction.
Yeah I wanna see the paperwork and medical records on this brain injury. I think this dude played to be a stuttering comic and now it’s serendipitously disappeared after he’s gotten a modicum of success. 😅
Trust me someone who studded this dude was a hack he did this for views i still struggle to this day no matter how hard i tried and i took speech tearapy

Holy shit, listening to him now is night and day difference. Every time I hear him I notice he’s getting better. Amazing
As a former rehab counselor this guy is great. He has the prospective of an individual who will over come what he can and manage what he can’t.
Both of these men have outrageous, high pitched giggles
Excellent interview! I am glad to finally hear the story. Drew, you are an amazing person and a fabulous comic!
Drew was great in this episode
Wait is this a legit channel or does Ryan just not give a fuck lol
Seems legit can't believe the comment went so far without a lot of likes.

Lovvvvve Drew!!! Wish Rogan would pick him up and get him some more exposure. If anyone deserves it it's drew.
And YMH
Rogan isn't fit to lick his boots
will never happen. drew is not "alpha" enough or anti-woke or whatever you want to call it for joe's taste, sadly.
@@BuckySwang what? Are you even familiar with who all has been on rogan?
He should do ANYTHING but Rogan!!
his speech is so much better now!!!!!
Ryan’s shows are so fucking real and beginning to be my favorite podcast out right now. What a great interview and amazing story.
Appreciate you Drew! Saw you many years ago at the Hellium in Portland. Great show. One foot in front of the other my man. Keep up the " momentum"!

He has lost most of the stutter now, the brain is an amazing thing. Interesting how he barely looks at the host.
I remember the America's Got Talent thing. That's the first time I saw him. Dude is hilarious.
i love drew 🥺
Sorry about your anxiety but you really killed it in America got talent and on your last special.
you rock , are roads have bumps keep driving enjoy the ride.

Love Drew so much he’s a one of a kind and totally awesome 👌😂😊🇦🇺🇦🇺💕
I was born with my speech problem so I fully understand the obstacles.
Wow I had no idea that this was due to an injury! 😮
I love this guy
Really helps me see I can laugh at my own trauma . And I don’t have it that bad
I wonder what happened to that roommate that was crying over the sink
These comments don’t match the views come on ladies and gents, let’s run that shit up.
thank you!!
In my opinion, Drew is the BEST new comedian. Well, he is pretty new to me anyway.
I have spastic paraplegia. Nobody knows what that even is, let alone the ramifications of that disease and over the past 3 years the utter degradation of life for me. I know what he means.

10:13 jeez, that made me tear up. hit me like a gut shot
Ventriloquist seem like they would make the best speech therapist, especially for people with a stutter.
I’m not crying you’re crying
What happened to Stella?
❤
Does he still have Stella his service dog.
she passed away 😢
@@lanivelazquez5308 aww poor girl. Does he still use a service dog?
@@hollyross1994 not sure
@@hollyross1994I believe he did get another one he just doesn’t include it in his comedy
did you steal your wall art from a cafeteria?
"A lot of us, me included, played baseball our entire childhood. I had great coordination"

Well done on the quotes there.

Have you ever seen him? He still stutters. Do you know how stuttering works? It gets better with therapy and practice.
Trust me someone who studded this dude was a hack he did this for views i still struggle to this day no matter how hard i tried and i took speech tearapy
I dont think its a typical stutter. I think its speech dyspraxia. I suffered this brain injury too and with sometimes its better then other days/weeks
Sarcasm doesn’t translate well to the internet..
Wow, aren’t you the clever one. Clearly Drew isn’t the only one with a mis-firing brain....😒
